Sustainability is one of the key drivers when farming land for grape harvests for many producers in Aotearoa. Not only does Greystone make excellent wine, their custodial approach to land and soil management is more than just sustainable; they have been recognised with national tourism certification and Qualmark under the Sustainable Tourism Business criteria. Located in the Waipara sub-region of North Canterbury, Greystone have been doing organic farming and winemaking on their 50-hectare property for a long time and in many ways the Qualmark is an extension of their Toitū Envirocare net carbonzero certification. “We’ve dedicated endless hours and resources to reduce our environmental impact over several years, however we’re still in the early days and we only want to keep improving all areas of the business,” says Nick Gill, Greystone General Manager. If you’re looking to try a wine from Greystone start with their chardonnay. It captures the essence of place and time, the scents of soil and pure fruit deliver an exciting and modern style.
