{"product_id":"2023-mt-difficulty-bannockburn-pinot-noir","title":"2023 Mt Difficulty Bannockburn Pinot Noir","description":"\u003cp\u003eMt Difficulty’s 2023 Bannockburn Pinot Noir is a bold and beautifully crafted expression of one of New Zealand’s most iconic wine regions. With a legacy that stretches back to the late 1990s, Mt Difficulty has built a reputation for producing premium Pinot Noir, and this wine more than upholds that standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced from estate and winery-managed vineyards on the southern side of the Kawarau River, this Pinot showcases the unique terroir of Bannockburn. Low fertility soils—ranging from light sands to clays and gravels—combine with the region’s extreme diurnal shifts to produce fruit of exceptional intensity and complexity. A mix of older clones (5, 6, and 10\/5) and Dijon selections (113, 115, 667, 777) adds further nuance to the blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's quintessential Central Otago Pinot, with aromas of dark cherries, warm spice, and hints of dried herbs and cedar. On the palate, blackberry, plum, and raspberry notes take centre stage, supported by fine, web-like tannins that provide structure and depth. The finish is long and layered, with a touch of spice and earthy complexity that lingers beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you drink it now or cellar it for a decade, this is one of the most bankable Pinots in Central Otago. It’s a true showcase of Mt Difficulty’s skill and the remarkable Bannockburn terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mt Difficulty","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56141635682676,"sku":"whg1789955521293","price":24.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/5613\/8100\/files\/2023-mt-difficulty-bannockburn-pinot-noir_1.webp?v=1789955524","url":"https:\/\/petcameramon.shop\/products\/2023-mt-difficulty-bannockburn-pinot-noir","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
