Incredibly intense aromas of cherries, strawberries, peaches, melon and fresh flowers. Medium-bodied with creamy, open-grained tannins and a juicy finish. Refreshing, vivid and vibrant. A pinot noir for today. From a mix of clones on their own roots planted in 1999 and farmed organically. Drink or hold. Screw cap. From the winery: Ranked #4 in James Suckling’s Top Wines of the World 2025. New Zealand Wine of the Year 2025. Crafted from vineyard to bottle by Terra Sancta, this 100% Bannockburn Pinot Noir embodies the character of our highest altitude site, the Mysterious Diggings Vineyard. At 300 metres above sea level, vines rooted in sandy soils produce fruit of remarkable clarity and vibrancy. Fermented with 100% native yeasts, our focus is on preserving the natural energy and beauty of the fruit. The result is a pure, expressive Pinot Noir — vivid, balanced and alive with the character of Bannockburn. Drink 2025 - 2031.
