TERRA SANCTA ESTATE PINOT NOIR 2024

Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"The Estate Pinot Noir expresses the unique terroir of Terra Sancta Estate on Felton Road, reflecting the aspect, soil type, vine age and microclimate of each block that contributes to the final Estate Pinot Noir. Fruit in the darker berries and stone fruit spectrum is a hallmark of the Felton Road side of Bannockburn which is evident in this wine. This wine’s depth and character can be attributed to the majority of fruit being sourced from our oldest vines on Slapjack Block and Sarah’s Block.

Picked early to capture natural acidity and freshness, the Estate Pinot Noir was fermented with wild yeast and aged for 10 months in a mixture of barrique and large format oak. Made with no additives, it was neither fined nor filtered, and was bottled on site at Terra Sancta 18 February 2025.

Medium ruby in colour, with a lifted and layered nose of nutmeg, chocolate, red cherries, and licorice. The palate is concentrated yet refined, offering vibrant red plums and cherries, licorice root, and hints of sandalwood. Silky fruit tannins and a core of minerality provide elegance and balance. The long, satisfying finish lingers with wild thyme and spice. A thoughtful and structured Pinot Noir that will age beautifully."

94/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review (2024 Vintage)
"Light, supple pinot noir with ripe berry flavours tinged with floral/violet characters and subtle, spicy notes. Seductive, silken-textured wine that caresses the palate with a surprisingly lengthy finish."
