Terra Sancta Mysterious Diggings Pinot Noir 750ml
Description
An early map of Bannockburn gave a small parcel of land the name 'Mysterious Diggings'. A single vineyard wine, its fragrance and red berry flavours reflect the high altitude of the vineyard and its unique soils. Tended naturally and without pesticides. Made with meticulous care, Mysterious Diggings Pinot Noir is a wine of great purity and balance. Unfined and unfiltered, it is perfect now but will cellar for 5 years for those willing to delay their gratification. Delicious. For tasting notes and label details see www.terrasancta.co.nz
VINEYARD
The Mysterious Diggings vineyard, planted in 1999 with six different clones, is one of the highest altitude vineyards in Bannockburn, Central Otago at 300 metres ASL. The combination of elevation, northern aspect, steep slopes, multiple clones, original rootstock and sandy soils, consistently produces Pinot Noir that is brightly fruited, accessible and delicious at a young age.
Tasting Notes
It has bright and engaging aromatics with red cherry, raspberry, vanilla and a touch of dried herbs. Elegantly weighted and beautifully rounded, juicy fruit flavours of cherries, plums and red currants are complemented by brambly herbs, thyme and a twist of spice. A delightfully expressed Pinot Noir with a smooth, balanced finish.Product Details
