Sourced from Terra Sancta’s prized Shingle Beach Vineyard on the famed Felton Road in Bannockburn, Terra Sancta Shingle Beach Pinot Noir 2022 captures the wild beauty of Central Otago. Hand-harvested fruit is fermented naturally and matured in French oak to reveal a wine of depth, elegance, and site-specific character. It is a true reflection of Bannockburn’s unique soils and climate.
Bouquet Vibrant aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, and violet with hints of thyme, spice, and earthy minerality.
Palate Silky and structured with layers of red and dark berries, fine savoury tannins, and a lively acidity. A complex, textured palate leads into a long, mineral-infused finish, full of Central Otago charm.
Food Pairing Ideal with lamb rack, duck breast, mushroom gnocchi, or slow-cooked beef. Also excellent with truffle risotto or aged cheeses.
Cellaring Drinking beautifully now but will evolve and gain further complexity through to 2030. Decant to unlock its full aromatic and textural depth.
Interesting Fact The Shingle Beach Vineyard’s name reflects its ancient riverbed soils—stony, free-draining, and perfect for crafting wines of incredible precision and vitality.
