FIVE STARS 94/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
4.5 STARS | Cuisine Magazine
This 2015 Estate Pinot from the legends at Terra Sancta is a total charmer – classic Bannockburn silkiness with just the right balance of elegance and flavour. It opens with a fragrant, lifted nose full of herbal and floral notes, then rolls into a juicy palate packed with cherry, raspberry, and a touch of licorice.
There’s a gentle flicker of wood spice on the finish, which stretches out beautifully and leaves you reaching for another glass. The texture is lively, the structure is spot on, and it’s drinking like an absolute dream right now.
If you’re a fan of elegant, expressive Central Otago Pinot, this one’s going to be right up your alley. Classy stuff from one of the region’s most respected producers.

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Elegant and stylish, this attractive pinot displays dark cherry, warm spice, dried herb, game and cedar aromas on the nose, leading to a beautifully weighted palate that is elegant and silky. The wine offers delightful fruit flavours together with subtle savoury notes, finishing persistent and engaging."
Cuisine Magazine writes "Another quality drop from this well established, accomplished Bannockburn winery. Attractive floral and spice scents presage a vibrant mouthful with layers of fruit and tannin and a sinewy texture. An ample, harmonious expression and a fine advertisement for the advantages of old vine fruit and a great site."
The winery writes "The 2015 vintage of the Estate Pinot Noir is characterised by a concentrated nose of herbal and floral notes, combined with balanced cherry and raspberry flavours on the palate, and licorice with a hint of wood spice on a bewitchingly long finish. A lovely, lively texture and beautiful balance, this is a delicious Pinot Noir with loads of charm."
