- Home: The slope is a north facing sedimentary clay fan on a gentle hill side slope. The soils are mainly Awapuni clay loam with calcium carbonate deposits.
- Damsteep: lay overlying fractured limestone and sandstone soils.
- Netherwood: Waipara Greensand (green grey richly glauconitic sandstone)
Rooted in Rudolf Steiner teachings, Black Estate sees each of the three vineyards in a holistic way. All the elements that make up the vineyards are considered, and how they interact and make one healthy, vital whole. The vines, fields, forests, animals, plants, soils, compost, people and the spirt of the place are equally important. When all considered, the sites can build their own sustaining natural rhythms.
