by Red+White Cellar 0 orders

$545.00

Greystone Pinot Noir 2021 is crafted by Greystone Wines in North Canterbury’s Waipara Valley, where limestone-rich soils and a cool climate deliver purity and structure. This is a composed and finely detailed Pinot Noir, opening with aromas of dark cherry, red plum and wild strawberry, layered with dried herbs, subtle spice and an earthy undertone. The palate is medium bodied and beautifully balanced, showing supple tannins, bright natural acidity and a fine mineral thread that carries the wine with ease. Red and dark fruit flavours are complemented by savoury complexity, gentle oak integration and excellent length. The style is polished and understated, allowing site expression to take centre stage. The 2021 vintage received 94 points from Bob Campbell MW, highlighting its clarity and refinement. Approachable now, Greystone Pinot Noir will continue to gain complexity with careful cellaring over the next five to seven years, rewarding patience while offering genuine pleasure today.

About Greystone Wines

We believe true fine wines are temporal, each vintage a fleeting snapshot of a place in time. We don’t seek to manipulate the final product with additives or flavourings – instead we allow a true interpretation of the soil, vines and season to shine through.

We revel in protecting our land. The many ecological benefits of organic practices include healthy soils, healthy waterways, biodiversity, and a safe place for bees and other beneficial insects. The use of natural products throughout production provides a safe and happy work environment for our dedicated team. We see our commitment to organic winegrowing as a bigger picture collaboration with our plant towards a more stable climate and sustainable ecosystem.

Greystone draws its name from the unique limestone conglomerate that we find as the bedrock on which our vine roots grow in. A limestone mix of fossils, sea shells and small pebbles that have been fused together through the seismic movement of North Canterbury. Over time this ancient seabed has been pushed and folded upwards to form the Teviotdale Hills.

Pinot Noir famously loves soils with limestone and thus different clones, aspects and blocks were planted to see what was capable from this bare land. As the soil changes down the slope we’ve also planted Chardonnay and Riesling. Further on the flat we have Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc which thrive in the tough dry clays and gravels of North Canterbury.

By 2004 with the help of Viticulturist Nick Gill we had planted thirteen blocks across the Omihi slopes. Dom Maxwell became our winemaker and a team was formed in the pursuit of realising the potential of this exceptional site. The north facing limestone hills slope down to clay – the perfect combination for growing wines with minerality and concentration.

In 2007 the first wine was produced from here and over the years Greystone has grown amid accolades and acclaim to be recognised as one of New Zealand’s best wineries. We love this region and with our wines we aim to capture the essence of this site and reflect this in every bottle of Greystone.
