Terra Sancta Slapjack Block Pinot Noir 2018

BOB CAMPBELL 96 POINTS!
FROM THE OLDEST VINES OF BANNOCKBURN, PLANTED IN 1991, POWER AND POISE, COMPLEXITY FROM BOTTLE AGE

 

"Elegant, complex pinot noir that's fine-grained and seamless, with layers of flavours including roasted chestnut, black cherry, spicy oak, fresh herb and subtle floral characters." - Bob Campbell MW

 

"A ruby-hued, velvety red. Hand-picked and matured in French oak casks (20 per cent new), it was bottled unfined and unfiltered. A very gentle wine, it is mouthfilling, sweet-fruited and supple, with youthful, subtle, delicate cherry and spice flavours, complex and savoury, and a notably harmonious, lasting finish. Best drinking 2022+." - Michael Cooper

 

"A 'complete' wine, showing lovely power and poise, it is fragrant and complex. Mouthfilling, rich and silky-textured, it has deep cherry, plum and spice flavours, showing excellent harmony.

Terra Sancta's pinnacle of Pinot Noir, from the first block planted in Bannockburn. One of our three single block Pinot Noirs, Slapjack Block is located in the heart of the Terra Sancta Estate. On gentle sloping clay soils, old vines on their own roots produce fruit of outstanding character and complexity. Minimal winemaking using wild fermentation is designed for maximum expression of site and vintage. 

An ethereal Pinot Noir, showing on the nose violets, boysenberry, plum, black olive and vanilla. Telling the story of the vintage, it is sweet-fruited and pretty with cherry, raspberry and blackberry, along with savoury tapenade and a touch of char and spice. Possessing talcy tannins and lively acidity, complexity builds mid-palate and it has a long, harmonious finish." - Winery
