Black Ridge Winery

                       Welcome

---

"The southern most winery & vineyard in the World"


Located in the South Island of New Zealand, Black Ridge is a producer of premium quality cool climate wine.

Black Ridge is one of the original Central Otago vineyards. It was first established in 1981 through the pioneering vision of Verdun Burgess & Sue Edwards.


The vineyard setting is dramatic, carved from rugged outcrops of schist rock. Pockets of vines cling to the Central Otago hillside, in a vivid contrast to the barren rock of Central Otago.

Grapes are handpicked and the wine is handcrafted to reflect the unique terroir and climate of the vineyard.

Principal grape varieties include Pinot Noir, Chardonnay,
Riesling, Gewrztraminer and a small parcel of Cabernet Sauvignon.
