BANNOCK BRAE GOLDFIELDS PINOT NOIR 2024

Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"Lifted aromas of black cherry, violet florals, warm cloves and cinnamon. Lifted ripe aromatics of blackberry, lavender and warm spicy oak balance with a palate of rich cassis, dark fruits and a plush textural tannin before an elegant and silky finish.

The Goldfields Pinot Noir is grown in Central Otago’s elevated glacial terraces with seams of greywacke, schist alluvium and overlying shallow Manuherikia fine sandy loam.

Handpicked fruit is chilled then sorted and destemmed into fermenters at our Gravity fed winery. A 7 day cold soak was followed by inoculation with selected Burgundian yeast strains. Daily plunging and an extended maceration have helped achieve a harmonious tannin balance."

5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, February 2026 (2024 Vintage)
"Wonderfully ripe with savoury nuances, the inviting bouquet shows dark plum, cherry, thyme, clove, and roasted nut characters, leading to a succulent palate filled with ripe berry flavours, well supported by supple texture and finely polished tannins. Harmonious and well-structured with a persistent, refined finish. At its best: now to 2030."

Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, February 2026 (2024 Vintage)
"A lovely wine with aromas and flavours of plum and dark cherry, softly spoken barrel spice and smoky wood tones. Tannins are in abundance with plenty of polish and texture, and the acid line carries all the flavours throughout the palate leaving behind a freshness and style. Lengthy, balanced and well made, a wine that will continue to develop its style and complexities with best drinking from late 2026 through 2033+."
