Blackenbrook Vineyard

Our Vineyard and Winery have just gained full accreditation from Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand!  This is a huge step towards lowering our foot-print and helping to preserve the wonderful New Zealand environment.

New Zealand’s small population, isolated location and agricultural economy have earned the country a “clean, green” image. New Zealand grapegrowers and winemakers aim to keep it that way by protecting the environmental integrity of their wine production.

To this end a pioneering set of industry standards have been developed, known as Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand (SWNZ).   Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand provides the framework for companies to continually work towards improving all aspects of their performance in terms of environmental, social and economic sustainability in both the vineyard and the winery.
