- "A wine that beautifully showcases the limestone and clay soils of Greystone Vineyard, showing poise, length and texture through the palate. Subtle complexity from barrel ageing makes this an enticing wine to watch as it evolves over time." (Greystone)

“We make exceptional wines.” is the pretty straight forward statement by the Greystone crew. To be fair, it’s hard to argue against it. Especially their Greystone Organic Chardonnay which, to be pretty straight forward, is one of the region’s great Chardonnays year after year.
From the clay and limestone hills of north Canterbury, Greystone’s 37 hectares are made up of twelve single blocks and they’re all about letting nature do its thing. No nasty chemicals used here, they hand picked the fruit before whole bunch pressing one block and foot crushing the other, then naturally fermented it in French oak. They even bottle the wine on site (a luxury not every winery can afford!) to ensure absolute maximum quality.
This is what winemaker Dom had to say about this 2024 release – “This Chardonnay is the culmination of two distinct vineyard blocks – one rooted in limestone, the other in clay. Each block contributes its own unique character: clay from the lower slopes contributes richness and fruit weight, while limestone from the higher elevations delivers vibrant freshness and length. The result is a wine of depth, balance, and unmistakable character.”
Seriously bloody good wine, it’ll only get better over the next few years.
