2009 Greystone Pinot Noir

Winemaker Dom Maxwell started with Greystone in 2004 as a vineyard hand after completing his degree in Viticulture and Oneology. He then went on to become Greystone's winemaker and in 2011 New Zealand's Winestate Winemaker of the Year. This Pinot showcases his talent.

Semi translucent dark crimson red colour with dark crimson red hue. The nose displays excellent intensity with lifted scents of ripe dark cherries, black plum and anise followed by some spicy toasted oak. Rich, opulent palate flavours are wrapped up in a supple silk like mouthfeel. Ripe dark cherry and black plum are intermixed with anise followed by some toasty oak and spice. Velvet smooth tannins. Excellent power with long ripe dark cherry, black plum, toasty anise and spice aftertaste.
Drink over the next 3-4 years. (2013-2017)
