Mysterious Diggings Pinot Noir

An early map of Bannockburn gave a small parcel of land the name 'Mysterious Diggings'. A single vineyard wine, its fragrance and red berry flavours reflect the high altitude of the vineyard and its unique soils. Tended naturally and without pesticides. Made with meticulous care, Mysterious Diggings Pinot Noir is a wine of great purity and balance. Unfined and unfiltered, it is perfect nowbut will cellar for 5 years for those willing to delay their gratification. Delicious. For tasting notes and label details see www.terrasancta.co.nz The Mysterious Diggings vineyard, planted in 1999 with six different clones, is one of the highest altitude vineyards in Bannockburn, Central Otago at 300 metres ASL. The combination of elevation, northern aspect, steep slopes, multiple clones, original rootstock and sandy soils, consistently produces Pinot Noir that is brightly fruited, accessible and delicious at a young age.
