Forager is the passionate side project of Dominic Maxwell, founding winemaker of Greystone in Waipara. This 'Little' Forager is a new wine to sit alongside his impressive Forager Pinot Noir.
The Little Forager is a blend of three North Canterbury Pinot Noir vineyards; capturing three different soils types, river gravels, silt loam and chalky limestone.
The resulting wine is a little lighter on its feet compared to its 'Older Sibling' and is real pinot lover's pinot. Nice and approachable with subtle complexity and ripe red fruits, we all thought it would be a lovely wine to have with a slight chill in spring/summer or a generous BBQ style pinot.
Winery notes (2025 Vintage)
"This is the second release of this Pinot Noir, following on from a small 2023 release. Little Forager is my homage to the Village wines of Burgundy. This is made from three small North Canterbury vineyards – hand tended and hand picked before a natural fermentation and extended time on skins for extraction of beautiful textures and flavours. Gently hand plunged daily, this wine was made using traditional techniques including ageing in French oak barrels for 10 months prior to bottling without fining."
