#12 Nicholas Brown, Winemaker & Owner of Black Estate (North Canterbury, NZ)

Vintec Podcast: a wine lovers guide to collecting, cellaring and serving 🍷

In this episode, we had the pleasure to interview the Owner & Winemaker of Black Estate, Nicholas Brown. Nicholas has engaged his thoughtful and sensitive winemaking approach to best express his three vineyards (Home, Damsteep and Netherwood) he farms organically and biodynamically. Together with his wife Penelope, they are the proud custodians of a land where cool climate varieties (from classic Pinot Noir and Riesling to more surprising Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc) thrive. Not only does he care intensely about his work but he does so for the wines of his community as well, striving to put North Canterbury on wine lovers' radar. His work has been recently celebrated by Gourmet Traveller Wine which awarded him 2022 New Zealand Winemaker of the Year.

Happy listening!
