Michael Cooper, leading wine author and critic, writes this regular feature and his reviews are detailed below.
Greystone Waipara Gewurztraminer 2008 *****
- Musky perfume, showing exellent intensity. Mouthfilling (14 per cent alcohol) and soft, with ripe, gently sweet flavours of lychees and spices, impressively delicate and rich, with a touch of complexity. Unfolding beautifully. Drink now or cellar.
Greystone Waipara Pinot Gris 2008 ****
- Weighty wine with pure stonefruit, pear and spice flavours, slightly sweet and finely balanced. Scented and slightly oily, with excellent depth.
Greystone Waipara Riesling 2008 ****
- Finely scented, medium-bodied style with gentle sweetness and strong, ripe, lemon/lime flavours, with a hint of passionfruit. Fresh, finely balanced wine, enjoyable from the start.
