Black Hills Estate Winery is located between Oliver and Osoyoos, British Columbia. The vineyard is nestled in the sun-burnt hills on the Black Sage Bench, home to British Columbia's highest quality vinifera grapes. The rugged desert earth, long sunlight hours and cool nights yield the intensely flavourful grapes that we blend to produce our Bordeaux-style Nota Bene and late harvest Sequentia wines. Our grapes are hand-picked and brought from our vineyard to the winery where they are sorted, destemmed, slowly fermented and then pressed into oak barrels to produce our high quality hand-crafted wines.

John Murphy Vancouver, BC Sat, 21 Jul 2007	This is by far my favorite BC wine. This might even be my favorite wine period. It's just too bad that they make to little of it. It sells out way to fast. So sad.

Tom Piper Omak, WA Thu, 01 Feb 2007	This is my second favorite winery in BC, eclipsed by only Burrowing Owl. Lucky for me, they are conveniently located just down the road from each other. I've been a huge fan of the Nota Bene since about the 2001 release I believe. They've nailed every year except one, but that wasn't enough to throw me off. My only complaint is that they don't make enough of it. Otherwise, great work and thank you!
