In 1989, Christine and Dave Macdonald left their city lives

winery. With caravan in tow the family embarked on a national
tour to find the ideal winegrowing region and vineyard location
Settling in Marlborough, they planted their vineyard by hand,
creating their own wines under the Bladen name. They quickly
developed a reputation for making exceptional cool climate

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is known for one thing above all: its unmistakable freshness šŸƒ

Bright citrus, lifted aromatics, and that signature crisp finish, all shaped by Marlborough’s unique climate and soils.

This is Sauvignon Blanc, unmistakably Marlborough.

Meet David Day - vineyard legend, longtime family friend, Chardonnay grower extraordinaire… travels with his own instant coffee, yet somehow produces some of the most beautiful fruit we’ve ever worked with. šŸ‡šŸ”„

For almost 40 years, Dave has poured passion, patience, and care into his vineyard, and it shows in every bunch of Chardonnay fruit coming through the w**ery this harvest. We couldn’t be more proud to be making our very first Chardonnay with the Daze.

And yes… we’ve only shared a few bottles of Chardonnay together over the years. šŸ˜‰šŸ„‚šŸ

Happy Chardonnay Day from all of us at Bladen.

Happy Mother’s Day to the woman at the heart of our family šŸ¤

Bladen W**es has always been about family, and so much of what we are today is because of our Mum. Her love, strength, support, and constant encouragement have shaped not only our family, but this business too. She’s the kind of Mum who is always there… quietly helping, endlessly giving, and loving us all so deeply.

Now, watching her as Issy to the next generation makes us even more grateful for everything she does and everything she is.

Today we’re raising a glass to her, and to all the incredible Mums, Grandmothers, and Mother figures who hold families together with so much love.

Wishing you all a beautiful Mother’s Day filled with family, laughter, love… and maybe a well-deserved glass of w**e šŸ·

To all of you who think I don’t get my hands dirty… here’s your proof.

6:57am, ready for the first harvest of Vintage 2026 šŸŒæšŸ‡ (and yes, I was present at all of them… just quietly).

Hands still suspiciously clean in this photo, but I did the mahi, I promise. Just ask Dad… actually, maybe don’t, ask Blair. šŸ˜…

This one’s for Mum šŸ’›

Our 2025 Gewürztraminer is officially here! Made to Mum’s palate, poured with love and best enjoyed at 6pm (lovely and cold, half a glass… topped up at least once šŸ˜‰).

Wildly expressive, generous and comforting, with floral notes and lychee sorbet charm.

A w**e made for slowing down, sharing with family and saying thank you to the ones who hold us all together.

Available online or at the cellar door NOW!

*UPDATE: NEW DATE 10TH JAN*

We’ve consulted the weatherman and Mother Nature has apparently agreed to 26 degrees and a soft breeze. Fingers crossed šŸ·šŸ¤žšŸ¼ā˜€ļø

Bites šŸ“ Beats šŸŽ¶ and good vibes at Bladen are back, and we’re so ready for it.

Gather your crew, pack a fold-out chair if you’ve got one, and settle in for an afternoon of delicious food, live music, and Bladen w**es in the sunshine. šŸ·šŸŒæ

We can’t wait to welcome you back for another epic day at Bladen. šŸ’ƒšŸ•ŗ

Ending the year the Bladen way… surrounded by family, a little bit of chaos, and a LOT of gratitude šŸ·šŸ˜…

Thank you to everyone who supported Bladen W**es this year. Whether you visited us, shared a bottle with friends, stocked our w**es, or cheered us on from afar.

We’re raising a glass (or three) to an exciting year ahead and can’t wait to share what’s coming in 2026 šŸ„‚šŸ‡

Happy New Year from our family to yours, see you on the other side! āœØšŸ¾
