About the Winery

A leader in what is already a very strong organics and bio-dynamic wine making scene in NZ. The estate covers 3 organically certified  hillside vineyards on the northern slops of the Waipara Valley in North Canterbury. The original Home Block was planted in 1993 and the newest vineyard was planted in 2012. The Netherwood Block is the oldest vineyard, planed in 1986.

"Black Estate's wines have caused more discussion amongst our judges than any other wines, leading to rather late nights on more than one occasion. Black Estate achieved more Gold and Silver medals than any other vineyard partaking in the 2017 awards." NZ Organic Wine Awards 'Winery of the Year 2017'
