Welcome to our Nelson Family Vineyard

Welcome to our Nelson Family Vineyard

Our six grape varieties prosper in the balanced maritime climate and Moutere clay soil of the 20 hectare Blackenbrook family vineyard halfway between Nelson and the Abel Tasman National Park.

We are Daniel and Ursula Schwarzenbach, small winemakers with a big vision and a genuine determination to improve the style of each vintage. Proudly hands-on, we nurture grapes from the soil to the bottle in our sustainable vineyard and gravity-fed winery.

Let our wines speak for themselves.

Superb Family Reserve Pinot Noir 2010 - a Treasure from the Library Stock
Dear Ursula
Just before New Year, I had a bottle of your Family Reserve Pinot Noir 2010 and it really was superb - beautifully rich ripe concentrated dark fruit, intense, tarry and with a lovely liquorice nuance.  Just a pity I have no more!
Best wishes
Chris
