Single Block Pinot Noir
Slapjack Block Pinot Noir 2016
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. 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. Bottled under cork.
