WINE DESCRIPTION
Terra Sancta Mysterious Diggings Pinot Gris hails from Bannockburn in New Zealand's southernmost region of Central Otago. The wine is typically made in an off-dry style to help offset the firm acidity and give a succulence and roundness to the wine. The fruit is entirely hand-picked and pressed immediately to preserve freshness and varietal expression. After undergoing a partial fermentation, which was eventually halted by chilling the tank, the wine was matured for a period on lees to add texture and weight.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Terra Sancta Mysterious Diggings Pinot Gris has a pale to medium golden color and moderate viscosity.This Pinot Gris showcases a beautiful balance of notes of ripe pear, white peach, and hints of floral undertones. The palate is full and round, with a viscous mouthfeel and a fresh acidity that brings vibrancy to the wine and balances the sweetness. The flavors of juicy stone fruits, such as nectarine and apricot, are complemented by subtle hints of spice and a touch of minerality.

ORIGINS
Winery: Terra Sancta
Region: Central Otago
Huddled in the bottom of New Zealand's South Island, Central Otago is the world's southernmost wine region. With its unique terroir, Central Otago is home to some of the country's most exciting and distinctive wines.
Central Otago's wine industry began in the late 19th century, when the first vines were planted in the region. However, it wasn't until the 1980s that the region began to gain recognition for its wines. Since then, the region has become one of New Zealand's most important wine regions, producing some of the country's most sought-after Pinot Noirs.CUSTOMER RATING
