Greywacke Pinot Noir - 2023 (750ml)
The grapes were hand-harvested and chilled overnight prior to hand-sorting. Most of the fruit was then destemmed into open-top fermenters, the majority of which also had a percentage of whole-bunch inclusion. The fruit was left to soak on skins prior to the onset ofÂ
indigenous yeast fermentation, then plunged daily. After fermentation, the wine was pressed, racked and filled into French oak barriques (30% new).
 Imagine a dark chocolate brownie, baked in a wood-fired oven and finished with a dollop of plum compote. Deeply coloured and exhibiting both sweet and savoury aromatics – think pumpernickel, bramble berries and the soft scent of lilac. The palate rivals in complexity, with tamarillo, wild cherry and grilled nectarine flavours, underpinned by dusty tannins and a long, driven finish.
90 points Vinous Media
The savory 2023 Pinot Noir balances ripeness and tension, juxtaposing sunny, bright Marlborough fruit against nervy acidity. Well-handled tannins coat the mouth in a gentle, sinewy manner. A generous toasty oak influence lingers longer than the fruit, but some time in bottle will likely resolve this. - By Rebecca Gibb, MW on July 2025
