Unkel is a small organic vineyard & minimal intervention winery run by husband and wife duo Rob and Kate Burley, located in the picturesque growing region of Nelson/Tasman, New Zealand. Our wines are lovingly handcrafted in order to respect and portray a true sense of time & place.

“Unkel” (variation of the spelling of Uncle), is about working with Mother Nature in the Vineyard to produce the highest quality fruit that we can obtain from her. Once in the winery, rather than being that hands-on, overbearing parent or father figure, you can think of us more like that cruisy, fun, slightly wild Uncle in your life.


Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"A mixture of direct pressed and carbonic maceration Merlot, Pinot Noir and Gewurztraminer that has been in aged in a mixture of old puncheons and stainless steel. Carbonic, confectionary fruits open up to a juicy, bright, light red. Rhubarb, rose water and melon. A true fruit salad and one of our favourites that tastes like a mouthful of Skittles.

The wines of the 2022 vintage are undoubtedly our best yet. After 3 years of farming this site we have learnt certain intricacies and nuances that have forged the path for how the wines are made here at Unkel. These wines run the line between both an expression of place and wines that are just downright fun to drink. We are extremely happy with these wines and we cannot wait to share them with you."


David Walker Bell, WineFolio.co.nz, March 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"The theme of smashable summer wines continues with ‘La de Da’ light red 2022 – a chillable blend of Pinot and Merlot with Gewürztraminer from the Abel Valley. 50% of the reds went through carbonic maceration. A distinctively earthy funk on the nose, leads to a palate packed with a fruit salad of red berries and nectarine that pops with crunchy fruit. This bright juiciness also has a layer of savoury salami and mineral notes waiting to be discovered underneath. A fabulous sweet finish. Top stuff."
