Greystone Vineyards in North Canterbury (previously known as Waipara) continue to excel, once again making this lovely Pinot Noir for us. The 2015 is rich with notes of sweet, dark cherries, yet all is counterbalanced by an herbaceous freshness. There is impressive depth and structure to this wine, reflecting the warmer conditions of the vintage, but it retains the appealing savoury complexity of its predecessor. This is an intriguing, rewarding Pinot Noir to sink into.

This delicious sweet Riesling is produced from hand-selected, overripe (noble rot) grape bunches. The young wine was given three months ageing and settling on lees in the tank before bottling five months after harvest.

The nose shows pungent bush honey, orange and jasmine flowers. A long palate is beautifully balanced by natural acidity, full of baked quince, fig, lashings of honey and citrus fruits. This wine will blossom over time and exhibit greater complexity over the coming years to 2020.
