Tasting Notes

Terra Sancta's pinnacle of Pinot Noir, from the first block planted in Bannockburn. One of our three single block Pinot Noirs, Slapjack Block, is located in the heart of the Terra Sancta Estate. On gentle sloping clay soils, old vines on their own roots produce fruit of outstanding character and complexity. Minimal winemaking using wild fermentation is designed for maximum expression of site and vintage. A 'complete' wine, showing lovely power and poise, it is fragrant and complex. Mouthfilling, rich and silky-textured, it has deep cherry, plum and spice flavours, showing excellent harmony. Bottled under cork.

 

Critic Scores

This is perhaps greatest pinot noir I have ever tasted in New Zealand. Aromas of blackberries, dried strawberries, orange peel, spices and graphite are subtle and refined. Full-bodied but not heavy, with perfectly formed tannins that go on for minutes.

The tannins are powerful but totally integrated, with polish and poise. It’s rather endless in the finish. Own-rooted Dijon clone planted in 1991. From organically grown grapes. Give this three to four years in the bottle.
