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


Black Estate have certainly established themselves as one of the stars of Waipara in recent years. Their wines are outstanding across the board and their winery restaurant is so busy it can be a challenge to get into on the weekend! This is fantastic Pinot and equally as nice at home as it is at Black Estate.


Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Deep ruby hue. Aromas of blackcurrant, charcoal, cinnamon, and thyme. The palate has density and structure typical of Pinot Noirs from the Home vineyard. Emerging flavours of plum, raspberry, red cherry and clove. Salivating tannin with a persistent bright mineral finish. This is an unfiltered wine with small amounts of sediment. Please allow the bottle to stand and settle before pouring. Decanting will allow maximum expression of aroma and purity of fruit to emerge. Drink now to 2031.

Hand harvested fruit was 100% de-stemmed without crushing giving an average of 70% whole berry. Inoculated using vineyard derived yeast the wine fermented for 28 days in 2.0 to 2.5 ton open top fermenters. The vats were plunged using hand and foot one to two times per day during the peak of ferment. Each vat was pressed individually using a basket press. The wines were matured in 228L and 500L French Barrels for 12 months, 0% were new. The wine was then racked from barrel, blended and settled in tank for 4 months and then bottled without fining or filtration. 50 ppm Sulphites added."


Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, September 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"A youthful and vibrant bouquet of dark cherry and spiced plums are laced with dried herbs and a natural savoury complexity. As the wine touches the palate the textures from tannins and place are captured first with a firm youthful grip accentuated by acidity and freshness then a stony clay soil quality. Fruit flavours mirror the bouquet then spices from barrel and fruit. A firm dry wine with plenty of youthful textures, ripe fruits and a lengthy finish. Complexity is building yet, a wine that needs maturing time with best drinking likely from 2027 through 2037+."
