Black Estate winemaker Nicholas Brown was awarded 2022 NZ Winemaker of the Year by Gourmet Traveller Wine Magazine


The Damsteep Vineyard is located in the north east of Waipara Valley at the foot of the Omihi Saddle in North Canterbury. The combination of sandstone/limestone soils with some clay has given the wine its bright fragrant, floral/violet flavours and a silken texture. There is palate filling succulence balanced with minerality. A very attractive Pinot Noir.


Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"The Damsteep Vineyard is located in the north east of Waipara Valley at the foot of the Omihi Saddle in North Canterbury. This Pinot Noir is grown on a 5.5 hectare vineyard with 9 different parcels of various north-east, north, and north west facing slopes, with an altitude between 140 to 180 meters above sea level. The vines here were planted in 2000 and grow on clay overlying fractured limestone and sandstone soils. Organic and biodynamic farming practices have been used since 2012. The Damsteep Vineyard has been fully certified organic with BioGro since March 2017."


Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, May 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"Complex and new, core varietal fruit scents of raspberry and black cherry flesh. There’s a layer of crumbled clay and suggestions of limestone then scents of earth and barrel spice combinations. Very floral with a violet touch and soft savoury spice complexity. Dry, taut and new still with a definitive palate squeeze from acidity and tannins, then, the core fruits of red berries and plums then blackcurrant and violets. Mouthfeel, tannins and leesy barrel textures complete this wine. Youthful with plenty of development time ahead. Well made and lengthy with best drinking from 2028 through 2034+."
