Blackbook was born of a love of three things: cool climate pinot noir and chardonnay; the English wine industry; and this fair city we call home, London. We are an urban winery located in a railway arch in Battersea, a stone's throw from Battersea Park in south London. The grapes are sourced from growers within hours of the city, carefully selected for their well-located vineyards and high quality grapes. Our ethos embraces a single fundamental goal: to make bloody good wine. We endeavour to bring the hard work of our vineyard owners to the forefront by creating a range of single vineyard wines that showcase the quality and potential for making world-leading still wine here in England. We have two focal varieties, chardonnay and pinot noir. While we love these varieties, additional grapes are sourced annually to produce experimental releases that keep us on our toes! Sometimes they are even added to the line up if our creations work.
We are proud to be a London winery and a London business, and we are passionate about this city. We seek to reflect the vibrancy, colour, culture and energy of London in our wines, how they look, feel and taste. We work with other London businesses at every opportunity and are focused on being part of the hub of innovation in this city today and tomorrow.
