Bell Hill

Possibly some New Zealand's most exclusive and sought after wines due to tiny production, strict allocations and high ratings.  If you see wines stock here, do not delay!

Bell Hill is in the Weka Pass area of North Canterbury. The 2ha vineyard has the Burgundian model of high plant density (9,090 to 11,363 vines/ha) and low to the ground vines. Established in 1997, Marcel Giesen and Sherwyn Veldhuizen were drawn to Bell Hill by its limestone derived soils, with the aim to make Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with limestone based flavours, acid and tannin structures that allow for development and longevity. 

To enable the site to express typicity and character while also maximising quality, they apply biodynamic and organic growing practices and do not use cultured yeasts, tannin additions, finings or enzymes in the winery.
