The unique limestone hills of the Waipara Valley are home to Greystone's 50-hectare organic vineyard.

General manager and founding viticulturist Nick Gill says that despite a lack of direct sunlight, the grapevines are fast approaching véraison, a French term that heralds the start of the ripening process.
