Planted in 1991, these are the oldest vines on the estate, and they are something of an anomaly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlanted on their own roots (ungrafted) in a field blend of up to 13 different clones, this block offers a level of complexity that is hard to find elsewhere. The vines sit on a sun-drenched, north-facing slope with soils full of glacial schist gravels and a thin layer of clay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a wine of contradictions in the best possible way; it has power and weight, yet feels incredibly light on its feet. The nose is distinctly floral and herbal, showing lavender, wild thyme and violet alongside the fruit. On the palate, it is layered with strawberry, blueberry and pomegranate flavours, supported by fine-grained tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a \"complete\" Pinot Noir - structured enough to age, but with a fragrant, silky quality that makes it compelling right now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This is perhaps greatest pinot noir I have ever tasted in New Zealand... The tannins are powerful but totally integrated, with polish and poise. It’s rather endless in the finish.\"\u003cbr\u003e- James Suckling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Terra Sancta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42646729818155,"sku":"2024 Terra Sancta Slapjack Block Pinot Noir","price":125.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2024TerraSanctaSlapjackBlockPinotNoir.webp?v=1769127451","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2024-terra-sancta-slapjack-block-pinot-noir","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
