Description

Greystone Organic Waipara Chardonnay 2023"Complex, enticing and packed with scents of soil and place. Aromas of seashells and lemons, crisp red apple and grapefruits, white peach and soil smoke. Dry, taut, youthful, fresh and utterly delicious. A wine that reminds me of outstanding Chablis with its signature mineral the lees and flinty fruit core. The acid line is pristine adding mouthfeel and length as well as carrying fruit and mineral flavours. Best drinking from 2025 through 2030+"

"Hints of flint, smoke spice and mushroom complexity weave in and out of focus against a backdrop of tangy apple with citrus oil. The palate is backward and sapid with late flavours of peach (Mendoza clone?) which hold court right across the long finish as notes of spicy oak, popcorn and créme fraîche emerge. At once generous in flavour yet restrained in structure, it holds good tension and will unfurl over the mid-term to deliver nutty complexity and added weight" Stephen Wong, The Real Review

Pale lemon in colour with aromas of ripe nectarine and pink grapefruit. Toasted almonds
and bran appear with some fine blossom too. Rich mouth-feel with exotic spice and lemon pith, balanced with a lengthy mineral spine.

Greystone draws its name from the unique limestone conglomerate that we find as the bedrock on which our vine roots grow in. A limestone mix of fossils, sea shells and small pebbles that have been fused together through the seismic movement of North Canterbury. Over time this ancient seabed has been pushed and folded upwards to form the Teviotdale Hills.

The 2022/23 season was one of great balance. It was slightly warmer, slightly wetter and slightly sunnier, giving us wonderful conditions for growing grapes. After a temperate winter, budburst was slightly earlier than usual, and although spring frosts were frequent, they were mercifully mild. Regular spring rainfall mixed with good sunshine hours through Nov. and Dec. helped ensure healthy vine growth and moderate bunch sizes. Warm North Canterbury summer days followed through December, January & February, pushing along fruit development. Moderate temperatures through March and April prolonged the ripening period and allowed us to harvest at the optimum quality level.

This Chardonnay is the culmination of two distinct vineyard blocks – one rooted in limestone, the other in clay. Each block contributes its own unique character: clay from the lower slopes contributes richness and fruit weight, while limestone from the higher elevations delivers vibrant freshness and length. The result is a wine of depth, balance, and unmistakable character. We hand-pick our Chardonnay blocks and process them without additives. The Limestone block was whole-bunch pressed, preserving its delicate minerality, while the Clay block was foot-crushed before pressing to enhance texture. Each block was fermented naturally in French oak barriques, guided by wild yeasts through primary fermentation. The wine was then left undisturbed over the winter months, with natural malolactic fermentation beginning in early spring, adding layers of complexity and texture. After nine months of aging, the wine was estate-bottled without fining. The 2023 vintage reflects the calm, dry harvest conditions, offering ripe fruit complemented by natural freshness. Traditional malolactic fermentation has added complexity and texture, creating a wine that’s both approachable and age-worthy.

Food Pairing: For pairings, keep it simple yet indulgent: grilled salmon, roast pork
belly, or creamy mushroom risotto. This wine is a pleasure to enjoy now but will reward patience – cellar it for 10-12 years, and it will continue to evolve beautifully.

Perfect watch
Color: Black
This is the perfect watch for me. No negative issues at all. It's light, comfortable, easy to read, accurate, and tells me exactly what I want to know, even in the dark. I like that the seconds can be reset to zero with the push of a button. That makes it easy to set the time to the second. Battery replacement is simple. No pressing the back on with a watch press. I will agree the buttons are a bit stiff, but then I can't accidentally press 'em by flexing my wrist.

Takes a Licking and Keeps on Ticking
Color: Green/Black
I love this watch despite the fact that it is really a toy. I love the look of the watch, I love how lite the weight of the watch is on my wrist, and it really does keep good time if you manage the solar charge properly. Other than looking cool on your wrist, this watch has absolutely no functions other than time keeping. The black plastic bezel is molded into the case and does not turn, so don't plan on using that. The watch has no light, the dial numbers are non-luminous and the hands are very limited in terms of luminosity. No buttons. All you can do is adjust the time and date by pulling out what used to be a winding stem in the good old days. The small tag on the strap with Geographic coordinates shown on it indicate the location of the old Timex manufacturing facility (SW of Waterbury, CT). I have a nice ledge at my bedroom window and it gets good western sun for a good part of the day regardless of the time of year. On this ledge you will find a half dozen solar powered watches (mostly Casio) properly aligned to maximize the charge they may receive each day. Note that the description for this Timex watch specifically states that a lightbulb won't charge this watch. You need direct sunlight for several hours if you want to get more than a 3-week charge into this watch. So, I'll leave you with a couple of tips, my friends; 1.) If you are looking for a first watch to give your outdoorsy oriented Son or Daughter, then give them this one. Why? Because it is cool looking, fairly well built, and it actually works, 2.) After you receive your Timex watch, be sure to keep the display mount it is packaged with. It makes a great fixture to mount your watch on for charging and allows you to maximize the position of the solar cells on the dial so that you can optimize charging time. Have Fun! Jimmy

Excellent value, flawless performance for well over a year and no signs of quitting.
Color: Green/Black
Excellent value, had this for well over a year and it still keeps perfect time, still water resistant. No worries about having to change batteries. Owned a fancy expensive (battery) watch once and the dept. store repair intentionally sabotaged the watch in the hopes I would purchase another from them. Yeah, good luck with that, lost my business forever. This is the 21st century, cell phones are the new time pieces, but solar is totally reliable and Timex makes it happen. Holds a charge for many months, although I prop it in a bright window for a few days every few months or so just to make sure the cells are always fully charged, although it's probably unnecessary, just being over cautious. I haven't actually experienced this watch ever running out of power even after months of use. Damn impressive, as it should be.

Good value for solar watch
Color: Black/Orange
Nice watch! It is plastic like but it is solar. No indiglo button only a little luminous on the hands so you don't want to wear it in tje dark and expect to check the time. 45mm case is good size for my wrist and the band works good also, Not too long not too short. Overall a good watch with no problems
