Marcel Giesen & Sherwyn Veldhuizen founded Bell Hill back in 1997 when they came across a unique north facing piece of land, shaped like a bell... This Northern Canterbury area is full of limestone which is the reason the couple chose this area – perfect for producing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the Burgundian style. February 2022 they are celebrating 25 years at Bell Hill, as well as their silver wedding, and Sherwyn says “time has just flown by”. They hold their wines back for several years bef
