Greystone’s stunning full bodied Chardonnay has an aromatically inviting nose of golden kiwifruit, nashi with mild oak and coconut husk. The palate is full with generous flavours supported by fine grained oak phenolics and ripe acidity.
5 Stars – Winestate Magazine “Already very expressive, this organically certified wine was hand-picked, barrel-fermented and matured for 11 months in French oak barriques (20% new). Bright, light yellow, it is weighty and fleshy, with concentrated, ripe, peachy, slightly citrusy flavours, fresh acidity and a finely textured, long finish. Best drinking 2021+”
95 Points – Bob Campbell MW “Rich, appealing, creamy-textured chardonnay with layers of white peach, lanolin, ginger, brioche and subtle spicy flavours. A seamless, integrated wine that defines subtle power. So approachable now it’s hard to imaging it getting any better, but that’s an exciting possibility.”
95 Points – Cameron Douglas MS “A immediately captivating and and complex bouquet with aromas of wild white flowers and honeysuckle, sweet grapefruit and white peaches, red apple, new-ish French oak scents and a core of minerality. On the palate – delicious; complex, layered and lengthy. Flavours explode on the palate with apples and sweet citrus, minerals and fine oak finishing with a flinty, mealy feel. Complex, lengthy and delicious! Best drinking from today and through 2024.”

string(513) "Possibly the most famous grape variety in the world, Chardonnay has found a home in pretty much every corner of the wine world. From crisp, flinty Chablis styles to full-bodied, oaky, rich Napa Valley Chardonnay it is a variety which has the ability to morph according to the climate or winemaking philosophy. It also has the capacity to produce amongst the greatest white wines in the world. Some praise indeed for this chameleon variety, the likes of which may only truly be matched by Riesling or Chenin Blanc."
