Black Stilt Wines produces tiny quantities of exceptional quality wine using parcels of grapes from single block vineyards in the Waitaki Valley.

Every bottle of Black Stilt wine sold generates financial support for the Black Stilt recovery programme at Twizel in the upper Waitaki Valley.

This beautiful remote valley in North Otago is one of NZ’s newest wine regions. Small, intensively managed vineyards produce a range of distinctive cool climate wines.

The cool climate, long ripening season, and limestone alluvial geology of the Waitaki Valley produces wines with a distinctive minerality and complex fruit flavours.
