One of Terra Sancta's three unique single block Pinot Noirs; Shingle Beach is created to reflect the singular characteristics of its magnificent site. Located on the edge of the Kawarau River, ‘Shingle Beach’, is a close planted block of Pinot Noir vines on soils of limestone and schist. Minimal winemaking using wild fermentation in large oak barrels showcases the characteristics of site and vintage, resulting in this ethereal expression of Pinot Noir.
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
