Pinot Noir may be the toughest grape to grow, but the effort is well worth the investment. It is a fickle grape that demands optimum growing conditions, demanding warm days consistently supported by cool evenings. The climate found in Central Otago, New Zealand is proving to be ideal for producing an excellent wine as the climatic conditions epitomise the Pinot Noir's requirements.

The 2006 Vintage Greylands Ridge Pinot Noir is described by winemaker David Grant as;

quoteA complex Pinot Noir with silky tannins and flavours of dark fruits and cherries with a hint of spice. It reflects the terroir of the area, dry stony soils, formerly home to tussock grasses and wild thyme and a harsh continental climate unique in New Zealand.quote
