The wines of Bell Hill hold an almost mythical status amongst collectors of New Zealand's finest and rarest wines. Marcel Giesen and Sherwyn Veldhuizen are not winemakers — they are winegrowers. Their North Canterbury vineyard sits on a limestone slope modelled on the high-density plantings of Burgundy, located within a former lime quarry in the Weka Pass and farmed biodynamically since 2007. The yields are tiny. The ambition is enormous.

The Wine At 10 Years Old

Arriving at exactly the place great Pinot Noir aspires to reach: savoury, resolved and graceful. Where many Pinot Noirs try hard to be good, Bell Hill is seemingly effortless — elegant and transparent, with innate power and a refined mineral core.

“This has purity, shimmering beauty and tension writ large. It feels pretty and perfumed to sniff on, sour cherry, wild herbs, faint cedar and clove. Flavours mesh light and frisky, more of the sour cherry and wild herb, though there's a distinct stony minerality that trails long through the wine’s epic length. The texture here is incredible. So much detail in the wine too. An outstanding wine. Drink 2020-2035. 97 Points.” – Mike Bennie, The Wine Front

Rarely seen outside of the finest restaurants and private retail, let alone a perfectly cellared release, Bell Hill is arguably New Zealand's most sought-after and collectable Pinot Noir. Twelve bottles at ten years of age is an exceptionally rare opportunity. When they are gone, they are gone.
