Bell Hill Vineyard – Christchurch, South Island
Position: Vineyard Machinery Operator
Type: Full Time
Location: Bell Hill Vineyard, Canterbury, New Zealand
Bell Hill is a small, quality-focused and premium producer of 3.2 ha of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on 63 ha of land. We believe in exploring the true potential of our terroir. The contribution of our limestone derived soils is at the forefront of that belief, as is our philosophy of the use of biodynamic and organic practices to further enhance that potential. The small vineyard area necessitates the combined efforts in the vineyard and winery and is aligned with the European concept of "winegrowing".
We aim to reach the highest potential for each vintage through best practice management of resources, viticultural practices and vineyard operations through organics and the employment of biodynamic practices, wine processing and wine making techniques. For our wine customers, we hope to give them an experience of quality and true sense of place when they taste our Bell Hill wines.
We are a small team with a focus on quality and attention to detail requiring adaptability, excellent thinking and solution finding.
