Greenstone

Our notes:

 

Greenstone embodies everything that we search for in quality wine producers: vineyard specific wines of elegance, complexity and drinkability; wines that speak of place; wines that work well with food. The Greenstone project brings together English MW David Gleave, Italian winemaker Alberto Antonini and viticulturalist Mark Walpole. Wapole has taken the revolutionary step of planting the Greenstone vineyard to an east-west row orientation to shield the fruit from the strong, summer sun, to allow for a more gradual ripening process and to retain natural acidity. The wine is made by Sandro Mosele at Kooyong Winery, with Alberto Antonini’s involvement. The resulting wine is about as far removed from the blockbuster-styled Heathcote reds as you can imagine and this suits us down to the ground. This is a pure, refined, spicy Syrah that reeks of class.

 

What the critics are saying:

 

"This is one of the most interesting new ventures to emerge over the past few years....with such a young vineyard producing wines of this quality one wonders just how exceptional the site is" James Halliday 2009 Australian Wine Companion. 

 

N.B. Halliday has given Greenstone a 5 Star rating for the 3rd year running in his Australian Wine Companion 2010.
