On a gentle north-facing slope near Tasman Village in the Nelson region, you’ll find Blackenbrook Vineyard, our small volume, high quality winery.
We've been producing multiple award-winning wines since first planting vines in 2001. Our seven grape varieties are Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Gewürztraminer, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Montepulciano.
Our vines grow into rich Moutere clay soils and the mild maritime breeze gently strokes the grapes ripening on the sun-drenched hillsides.
Proudly hands-on, we strive for minimal interference with natural processes, leading to wines that are pure and genuine. All our white wines are completely unfined and vegan, and we are accredited by Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand.
We've had an amazing harvest with healthy and balanced fruit coming in under an incredibly blue sky - thank you Mother Nature!
Divine smells filled the winery during fermentation. It was a joy to taste the new wines daily, ensuring the yeasts were happily converting sugar into alcohol and keeping them from producing off-flavours or "stressed aromas".
The next steps will be filtering and stabilising the young wines, ready for bottling in July - watch this space!
We’ve had some big changes at Blackenbrook. After almost 27 years, Daniel has decided to step away from the winery to pursue other interests.
I will continue running Blackenbrook as I truly love our little corner of the world, our wines, the people and the Nelson sunshine.
With the help of our new winemaker, Trudy Shield of Shield Wines, we are re-starting production - an exciting new chapter for Blackenbrook!
