Terra Sancta produce three incredibly different single vineyard Pinot Noirs designed to highlight the unique terroirs Central Otago has to offer. Even though their three single vineyard wines are produced within one sub-region, Bannockburn, these three different sites express themselves in vastly unique ways. The Jackson's Block is elegant, perfumed and expressive, a classic example of what makes Central Otago Pinot Noir so popular all around the world. 15% whole bunch ferment and 15% new oak for the aging provides a wonderful savouriness to the wine that perfectly complements the wonderful richness offered from the fruit.

Aromas of violets, cherries and raspberries, with dustings of cocoa and coffee giving the wine a special mocha character. There is a hint of wild thyme to the nose as well, giving an extra layer of complexity.

Wonderfully exuberant, there are layers of black Doris plum, raspberry, dark cherry and spices. With beautiful fine grained tannins and an incredibly long finish, this is an excellent example of classic Central Otago Pinot Noir that will age gracefully for 6-8 years. Serve with gamey meats, Peking Duck or savoury pasta dishes.
