{"product_id":"2024-terra-sancta-jackson-s-block-pinot-noir","title":"2024 Terra Sancta Jackson’s Block Pinot Noir","description":"\u003cp\u003eTerra Sancta sits comfortably at the top tier of the Central Otago pecking order, turning out incredibly terroir-precise wines on Felton Road. Jackson's Block is a serious single-acreage parcel running entirely on own-rooted vines planted in the early nineties. These mature vines dig deep into loam, quartz and schisty gravels, pulling a rare sense of structural poise out of the Bannockburn dirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 growing season threw high winds across the region, but Terra Sancta’s sheltered blocks handled it with ease. They went completely natural in the cellar, using native yeasts and giving it 30 days on skins before pressing to French oak. The result completely skips over any fat, jammy Central Otago stereotypes to focus entirely on precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a beautifully focused, linear style of Pinot Noir. The nose serves up a brooding mix of black cherry, wild violet and iodine, while the palate is tightly corralled by racy, fine-grained tannins and a firm mineral spine. It has plenty of immediate charm if you give it some air, but it will comfortably cruise in the cellar for a decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e99 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A linear and structured pinot noir with firm and racy tannins and aromas of spices, flint, iodine and oysters. The palate shows crushed berries and cherry blossoms.
