2024 Bannockburn De La Terre Pinot Noir

De La Terre, meaning “of the earth,” is Bannockburn’s nod to the small, high-density plantings tucked in beside the famous Serré block. These vines went into the ground back in 2007, farmed organically and cropped low, so everything here comes through with real intensity and focus.

The 2024 vintage is classic De La Terre - savvy, savoury Pinot that’s not trying to be flashy. Bright red fruits and bramble sit alongside earthy spice and that faint iron-stone minerality you can taste across much of Bannockburn. It’s fermented wild, aged in mostly old oak with just a touch of new, and bottled with the kind of restraint that lets the vineyard do the talking.

This isn’t a Pinot that shouts, more one that draws you in with layers of detail and quiet power. It’s elegant but grounded, and always one of the most compelling wines in the Bannockburn line-up.

"Bannockburn produces outstanding wines across the range, all with individuality, style, great complexity and depth of flavour."
