Terra Sancta means special place – our goal to capture the essence of our privileged part of the world in each Terra Sancta wine. With four vineyards and a winery based in the premium Central Otago sub-region of Bannockburn, our soul is the Terra Sancta Estate on Felton Road – the oldest vineyard in the sub-region, originating in 1991. Every wine – from delicious to very special – is consistently linked to a particular part of Terra Sancta and like our unique labels, crafted to convey a story of provenance.
Made exclusively from the oldest block in Bannockburn, Slapjack Block produces wines of unmatched complexity and weight.
Few wines reflect their soil and growing conditions as clearly as the 2014 Slapjack
Block Pinot Noir. From soils containing both alluvial schist gravel and clay Slapjack
Block pinot noir possesses impressive power and minerality. The intense heat of
summer has given the wine concentration and ripe red fruits. A rich textural wine
with layers of complexity, its finish is persistent with a beautifully balanced structure.
A rare mix of power and finesse this wine speaks proudly of its origins.
