We've made the list!

We’re exceptionally proud to share that Blackenbrook Wines has been named one of The Real Review Top Wineries of New Zealand 2025.

This recognition is a true honour — and a moment well worth celebrating!

Each year, around 10,000 wines from New Zealand and Australia are blind-tasted by The Real Review’s judging panel, including respected Master of Wines Bob Campbell and Stephen Wong. To be named in this prestigious list is a testament to consistent excellence, placing our boutique vineyard among the top winemakers in the country.

This accolade speaks to the passion, dedication and hard work that go into every bottle we craft. From the careful nurturing of our vines to the thoughtful decisions in the winery, our goal remains unchanged: to produce vibrant, expressive wines that reflect the unique beauty of Nelson’s coastal terroir.
