Shangri-La Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Come and experience our little piece of paradise. The vibrant green vineyard, the sheep, the ranges in the background and the long white cloud in the sky - this is where we live and play.

Entitled "Spring at Blackenbrook's", this label is part of our art series featuring works by Nelson artist Michelle Bellamy. The painting was commissioned to celebrate land and vineyard in sunny Nelson.

Tasting Notes

Playful notes of gooseberry and passion fruit dance on the palate, while the fruity character and juicy acidity make each sip a truly delightful experience.

The family home and the winery are also in the painting. In the background the Richmond Ranges and a deep blue sky with a long white cloud can be seen.

Nelson art to the world

Shangri-La stands for harmony, bright colours, vibrancy and incredibly intense flavours. We initiated the art series containing Sauvignon Blanc, Gewurztraminer and Pinot Noir to show-case these unique Nelson traits to the Japanese export market.

Contemporary Nelson landscape artist Michelle Bellamy created the paintings for the labels. Through precision brushwork and careful layering she captured the essence of the magnificent Nelson region.

Reviews

Vegan friendly

To make this wine, we haven't used classic fining agents such as fish, milk, or egg extracts and only minimal additives.

This means our Sauvignon Blanc is natural and vegan friendly.

The season

We enjoyed a near-perfect spring, with ample sunshine and just the right amount of rain to keep the vines thriving.

Despite a drought in February and March, our old, deep-rooted vines managed to access sufficient water to ripen a beautiful crop.

Harvest 2024 proved to be one of our finest vintages to date. Free from disease or weather challenges, the grapes were hand-picked in excellent health and rich concentration by our dedicated, small team of regulars.
Big smiles all around!
