Organically grown on mature vines in the Omihi subregion of North Canterbury.
Aromatically dense and quite darkly drawn, with supple tannins giving structure to the nicely ripe fruit and herbal/savoury profile.
A powerful yet classy Waipara Pinot, it's a hell of a lot of wine for the price. Grab it while the run of good vintages are here.

Description
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 upward.
