Una Volta Pinot Noir 2024

Vineyard: Cairnmuir Vineyard Subregion: Bannockburn Region: Central Otago Vintage: 2024 Soil Type: Mineral rich with glacial origins: a mixture of loess, gravels, schist and quartz Viticulture: Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand Certified (SWNZ) Una Volta, meaning “one time” in Italian, is reserved for rare, one-off parcels that we believe are destined for something truly exceptional. The 2024 release is sourced exclusively from the Cairnmuir Road Vineyard in Bannockburn, Central Otago, a prized west-facing site planted in 1996 and among the region’s earliest vineyards. Comprising exclusively Clone 115, this wine captures the fragrance, generosity and innate structure that has made Bannockburn one of New Zealand’s most revered Pinot Noir subregions. Lifted aromatics of black cherry, plum, and violet lead, underscored by a subtle savoury thread. The palate is both powerful and finely controlled, revealing purity of fruit, vibrant energy, and a long, persistent finish. Our 2024 Una Volta balances immediate appeal with quiet depth and endurance.
