It’s Day 5 of Organic W**e Week 🐑🍷

Our highwire vines gave us room to graze sheep beneath the rows, and they've become one of the best stories our kitchen tells. Raised on the estate, used through the year on our menu, whole-animal butchery in house. Pair it with our 2021 Vineyard Ferment Pinot Noir and you've got two ingredients grown on the same soil, meeting on the same plate.

This is what makes Organic W**e Week so special to us: It’s not just what's in the bottle itself, but everything else that comes with it too! Read more about our organic practices in our restaurant on our website. https://www.greystonew**es.co.nz/organics-in-our-restaurant/

Find us at Down to Earth at Jacuzzi Bar, Auckland, pouring our award-winning organic w**es alongside a room full of producers who farm organically.
We’re thrilled to be pouring today, alongside other organic producers and for the opportunity to swap notes with people who create w**es in the same way as we do.  For those discovering organic w**e for the first time and organic w**e lovers, we can’t wait to see you there!

It's Organic W**e Week!! 🌱🍇 And we hope you're as excited as we are to celebrate!

We've been farming this way for nearly a decade now, and it's great to see some green shoots start to appear. The global market's sitting at north of $13 billion and growing more than 10% a year, as more and more w**emakers ditch synthetic chemicals and more & more drinkers ask questions about what's actually in their glass.

New Zealand's part of that story is honestly something to be proud of. We're a small country punching well above our weight, with one of the most exciting and expanding organic w**e scenes in the world.

This week's about celebrating that community and sharing our own journey. Follow along through **enz to find out why organics matters for our future, what's happening this week, and to discover other organic w**e producers here in NZ.

Celebrate Organic W**e Week with 15% off all w**es online using code OWW, or save 20% automatically on our favourites 6-pack including the unreleased 2024 Syrah, new 2025 Pinot Gris, and library release 2018 Pinot Noir.

Due to popular demand, we've added a second night! Our first date sold out fast, so we're opening up Friday 9th October as well, giving a few more of you the chance to join us at the Greystone Restaurant for a special evening of delicious food, excellent company, and plenty of excellent w**e with our Head W**emaker.

For the very first time since stepping into her role as Head W**emaker, Georgia Mehlhopt is hosting her first Meet the W**emaker dinners at Greystone. She can't wait to raise a glass with you, and share the w**emaking process and vintage insights.

Executive Chef Cam Woodhouse has crafted a five-course menu plus canapés, paired with a handpicked selection of Greystone's finest pours. You'll be among the few to journey through our new releases, rare cellared older vintages, and a few of Georgia's personal favourites. Every dish, every pour, and every story is included in your ticket.

Seats are strictly limited for this event! Get your tickets now!

Please join me at the Greystone Restaurant for a special ‘Meet the W**emaker’ evening of delicious food, beautiful company, and plenty of excellent w**e.
​
The evening is a wonderful opportunity for me to introduce myself as the new Head W**emaker for Greystone. I took on the position this year and am looking forward to sharing some stories and vintage insights with you. I am especially wanting to meet the people who have been such a part of supporting the Greystone journey and to say thank you.
​
Cam Woodhouse, our Executive Chef, will be pairing canapés and five food courses from the Greystone Kitchen with a selection of Greystone w**es. We’ll try both new release w**es and older vintages, and some personal favourites of my own. Dinner and all w**e matches are included in your ticket, so the evening can be focused on letting the good times (and w**e) flow.
​
I’d love to see you there and cheers over a glass of w**e.
​
See you soon

Happy Pinot Noir Day! 🍷
