Thomas Brothers Pinot Noir grows on our highest slopes, in limestone soils which impart a beautiful chalky tannin and finesse to the wine.
A complex bouquet of soil and spice, red berries and dark plum with layers of savoury spice, a light almost steely haunt reflect place and time as well as concentration from ripe fruits and use of lees and barrel.
Fantastic on the palate with an abundance of finer grained tannins wovern between flavours of fruit and barrel, lees and mineral. Textures from acidity and tannins then concentration from fruit and dried herb savoury complexities.

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.
