Pinot Gris
Its Origins
After searching the world for the perfect place to grow cool-climate wines, the Thomas family established the Greystone Vineyard on the slopes of the Teviotdale hills in the Waipara Valley in 2004. They planted 39 hectares of the 153 hectare property of predominantly north-westerly facing land, concentrating on matching blocks with clones and varieties. There were many options with a range of altitudes from 60m to 150m above sea level and soil profiles from light clays through to those rich in limestone content. While Pinot Noir makes up over 60% of the plantings they could see the potential for other varieties in the region and planted blocks of Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and even a small block of Syrah.
What The Critics Say
95/100 Wine Orbit, Sam Kim
"It's finely expressed on the nose, showing apricot, fig, poached pear, and subtle spice aromas. The palate displays excellent weight and focus, wonderfully complemented by fleshy texture and beautifully pitched acidity. Harmonious and elegantly complex with a sustained, delectable finish. At its best: now to 2032. www.greystonewines.co.nz. May 2025." Drink 2025 - 2032
95/100 Raymond Chan Reviews, Candice Chow
93/100 and Outstanding, Cameron Douglas MS
"Bright, varietal and very enticing bouquet of fresh spicy pears and red apple, there’s a fine mineral seam threading through the fruit along with a natural saline and sea-breeze quality. Off dry with a light-sweet tickle, contrasting acid line and generous fruity core. Well made, a wine that is both delicious on its own and food friendly." Drink 2025 - 2030
