In 2012 we first explored fermenting our Pinot Noir grapes in the vineyard where they grow. We captured the wild yeasts in situ and by happenstance found we extended the vintage influence, allowing the vagaries of the season’s weather to provide a defining mark upon the wine.
Compelling and intense, this wine is layered with savoury flavours and juicy dense fruit. Initially fine grained in nature the palate stretches to showcase natural acidity and tension. A wine with finely balanced weight and complexity.
Since 2012, Greystone have fermented a portion of their pinot noir in the vineyard, a technique that winemaker Dom Maxwell believes allows the wine to more accurately reflect place and vintage. Cool vintage conditions extended the fermentation. A scented wine with cherry, red rose, brambles, spice and anise characters together with nutty oak. Firmly-structured with a backbone of smooth, ripe tannins. 27 JUN 2019 Drink 2019–2025
