The Greywacke Pinot Gris is a luscious, rich, off dry style. Made like a Chardonnay but with no-malo as the very ripe grapes were already quite low in acidity. Golden fruits – pears, apricot, a bit of ginger spice. This is a bit of a ‘hidden treasure’ in the Greywacke range.


Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Sweet aromas of golden pears, juicy figs, dried apricots and poached nectarines are infused with chamomile flower and hints of lanolin. The palate is inviting and lush with flavours of spiced quince, rock melon and lychee, highlighted with a twist of lemon zest. Greywacke Pinot Gris is an opulent, off-dry expression that celebrates the layers of flavour naturally afforded by the variety."


5 Stars Michael Cooper (2022 Vintage)
"A wine to ponder over, the 2022 vintage was grown at Renwick, in the Wairau Valley, hand-picked, mostly fermented in old French oak barriques, and then all matured in old barrels for a further six months. Bright, light yellow/green, it is a powerful, fleshy wine, with lush stonefruit flavours, an unobtrusive splash of sweetness (9.3 grams/litre of residual sugar), and finely balanced acidity. Already delicious, with notable complexity and richness, it should be at its best 2025+."

94/100 Huon Hooke, The Real Review (2021 Vintage)
"Light yellow/straw hue with a struck-match flinty reductive high note, the palate is rich and intense yet also subtle and refined in its texture, generous and harmonious along the length. A whisper of sweetness, well controlled. Ripe yellow stone-fruits fill the tightly coiled palate. Excellent wine."


93/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review (2021 Vintage)
"Poached pear, honeysuckle, clove/spice, ginger and a seasoning of nutty lees gives a strong varietal fingerprint as well as a clue to regional identity. Intense wine with underlying power, and a touch of alcohol heat."


Rated Excellent, 5 Stars & 95/100 NZ Wine Rater, June 2022 (2020 Vintage)
"Intense, vinous and complex on the nose with aromas of green pears, plantain banana, fallen leaves and nutty lees complexity. Surprisingly off-dry, textural, lush and tangy with a rich, oily texture, layers of flavour and a warm, mellow finish. This is an unctuous, exotic wine with a lot going on."


92/100 JamesSuckling.com (2020 Vintage)
"A charmingly aromatic nose with notes of dried lemon peel, ginger and chamomile. Medium-bodied. Delightful silky texture carries linear notes from the nose to the palate with a stony and refreshing finish."


92/100 Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous (2020 Vintage)
"Due to EU bureaucracy (and very ripe grapes), Greywacke's 2019 Pinot Gris could not enter Europe, and so the 2020 Pinot Gris will be what Europeans drink while the rest of the world sips the 2019. The 2020 is a little funkier than the 2019, offering talc, crunchy pear and white flowers and a touch of reduction. While the 2019 is more open and floral, there's a greater sense of tension and energy in the 2020, which Judd suggests may be due to the clone and the parcel selection, and a slightly cooler season – as well as being a year younger."
