TERRA SANCTA ESTATE PINOT NOIR 2021

Lifted floral and dark fruit notes with subtle earthiness and a touch of mineralality intrigue the nose. Supple tannins bring a soft and silky texture to the complex palate which carries with it black cherries, black currants, raspberries, fennel, cinnamon and star anise. The finish is generous with lingering fruit and spice. A ‘mini-Slapjack’ and classic Bannockburn.

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 fruited spectrum is a hallmark generally 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 14 months in a mixture of barrique and large format oak. It was neither fined nor filtered and bottled at Terra Sancta using minimal sulphur.
