Ranked #4 in James Suckling’s Top Wines of the World 2025 & 98/100!!!
FIVE STARS 93/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
Always a prime example of the fuller Bannockburn style, this popular Central Otago Pinot has developed quite the reputation as more and more customers become aware of its obvious charms. Plush and quite opulent for wine in this price bracket, it's one of those immediately attractive pinots that delivers everything you could ask for under $35. This vintage just scored a whopping 98pt review from James Suckling and ranked #4 in his top wine of the world, and that perfectly sums up this wine. Great buying.

James Suckling writes "Incredibly intense aromas of cherries, strawberries, peaches, melon and fresh flowers. Medium-bodied with creamy, open-grained tannins and a juicy finish. Refreshing, vivid and vibrant. A pinot noir for today. From a mix of clones on their own roots planted in 1999 and farmed organically. Drink or hold."
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "It's beautifully lifted on the nose, showing sweet cherry, cured meat, floral, and warm spice aromas. The palate exhibits juicy fruit intensity with a silky texture and fine tannins, resulting in a harmonious and balanced profile with a lingering, supple finish. At its best: now to 2029."
The sun-drenched, rocky terraces of the Diggings vineyard create a delicious wine with charm, elegance, clean fruit flavours, and length. Beautifully perfumed with a red cherry like richness and a deep but soft texture. This wine lets the vineyard do the talking. Simply delicious.
