After searching the world for the perfect place to grow cool-climate wines, the Thomas family established the Greystone Vineyard on the slopes of the Teviotdale hills in the Waipara Valley in 2004. We planted 39 hectares of the 153 hectare property of predominantly north-westerly facing land, concentrating on matching blocks with clones and varieties. There were many options with a range of altitudes from 60m to 150m above sea level and soil profiles from light clays through to those rich in limestone content.

While Pinot Noir makes up over 60% of the plantings we could see the potential for other varieties in the region and planted blocks of Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and even a small block of Syrah.

With winemaker Dom Maxwell and viticulturist Nick Gill leading the crew Greystone has been named as one of New Zealand’s Top 20 Wine Estates in Decanter Magazine. We have also won international trophies for our Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer and our Pinot Noir.

Make sure you call in and visit our onsite tasting room to try a range of top quality red and white wines from our vineyard. Open 7-days 11am-4pm.
