Welcome to Flaxmore Vineyards

Our single-vineyard wines are crafted from hand-picked vines on Flaxmore’s north facing slopes in the Moutere hills near Nelson. The combination of clay-gravels, climate and attention to detail has resulted in fine, balanced wines which fully express the vineyard’s special character: elegant fruit notes with some restraint on the palate that makes them outstanding wines to complement food - both casual and fine dining. 

Our 9 hectare (22 acre) family-owned vineyard is where the focus of our winemaking lies. Deep-rooted, un-irrigated vines deliver complexity, texture and mineral/savoury notes reflecting our special terroir, while initial clone selection and fine-tuning the clonal blend optimises the uniqeness of each vintage.

We have concentrated on the three grape varieties which are perfectly suited to the Moutere hills : Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. We also make a pale, dry Rosé from selected parcels of the Pinot Noir.  We’re delighted that our wines have been highly awarded with great reviews by leading wine critics Bob Campbell, Michael Cooper and Cameron Douglas (see below)
