.... the
latest vintage in a selection of fine Pinot Noir wines from the Central Otago
region of New Zealand...
Greylands Ridge Vineyard welcomes all visitors to our website, and hope that you enjoy the journey through our pages as much as you will savour the taste of our Pinot Noir Vintages which you can find out more about by reading on or by ordering a bottle or case of our wine.
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 4th Alexandra Basin New Release Tasting was held over Labour Weekend with Bob Campbell MW, Cameron Douglas MS, Yvonne Lorkin from "Thirsty Work" and Charmian Smith From the Otago Daily Times. Attended by over 200 people the new release tasting was a great success and now all our new wines have been released.
The new Blanc de Noir especially was a great hit and very well reviewed by John Hawkesby on National Radio Nine to Noon on Tuesday 23/10/12 with a dish from Martin Bosely.
