What it means to be Greystone

At Greystone, being true to our roots means more than just making great wine—it’s about nurturing the land that gives us so much. Our vision is to create wines that naturally reflect the balance of our vineyards and the ecosystems that sustain them. Here in the rolling hills of New Zealand, we’re not just growing grapes—we’re exploring new ways to care for our environment, sharing what we learn, and teaching others along the way. Inspired by the pioneering Kiwi spirit, we embrace the journey of growing with the earth, crafting wines that tell the story of this connection and inviting others to join in this shared adventure.

Growing in Harmony

At Greystone, our vision and values are deeply rooted in a commitment to living in harmony with the land and our community.

Each bottle of Greystone wine is thoughtfully crafted, with grapes grown through our philosophy of organic and regenerative practices, seamlessly blending care and respect for the planet with the art of winemaking. This approach reflects our dedication to being climate positive, championing environmental stewardship, and pursuing excellence in everything we do.

We invite you to join us on this journey, celebrating and nurturing the natural beauty of our world with every glass, as we work towards a future where nature, life, and celebration are perfectly in sync.

Beyond Sustainability

At Greystone, every choice we make is guided by a genuine care for the planet and a commitment to constantly improving. From growing our grapes with organic and regenerative methods to using energy-efficient techniques in our winery, packaging, and bottling plant, sustainability is woven into everything we do. Even our Cellar Door menu reflects our dedication to honoring the earth. It’s more than just doing things right—it’s about living in a way that celebrates and protects the world we love, always striving to do better.

Beyond Innovation

We believe in the power of innovation to elevate both the quality of our wines and the sustainability of our practices. Our journey is driven by a desire for change and constant exploration, from refining our organic farming methods to embracing wild yeast fermentation and advancing our approach to regenerative agriculture. At Greystone, innovation isn’t just about progress—it’s about continuing to make exceptional wines while taking positive steps towards a healthier planet and a more sustainable future for all.

Beyond Excellence

From the vineyard to the bottle, every step in our process is carried out with meticulous care and an unwavering focus on quality. We strive to produce wines that are not only outstanding in flavour but also exemplary in their environmental and ethical standards.

This is the patch of soil we have. We are the only people with this. If we make it relatively hands off, then we are going to make wine that is unique to us, and then we’ll find our people.
