John Forrest Collection Bannockburn Pinot Noir 2007
Nestled close to Cromwell is the tortured yet beautiful landscape of Bannockburn, created by miners in their sluicing for gold in the 19th Century. Here vineyards are made up of glacial deposits mixed with miners tailings. Our vineyard is situated on north-facing terraces on the banks of Lake Dunstan at the head of the Bannockburn Inlet. The micro climate allows natural protection from frosts, cold southerly winds and permits extra ripening from the summer sun. Bannockburn is now the most sought after grape growing region in Otago.
Tasting Notes
Opulent, concentrated Central Otago red with ripe cherry, plum, spicy and length. A wine with amazing power and complexity, matured for 15 months in French oak barriques, mouthfilling, generous, warm with dense cherry/plum aromas, textured and long finishing. |
