The Bannockburn character brings ripe red fruit and aromatic intensity, while bright acidity and fine mineral notes keep the wine fresh, focused and balanced. Gentle savoury nuances add further depth to the expressive fruit profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOn the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely textured, with vibrant acidity, silky tannins and layers of cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry. Red fruit is complemented by violet, dried flowers, subtle herbal notes and gentle earthy spice, while a fine mineral character provides tension and length. The tannins are polished and supple, giving the wine structure without overwhelming its delicate fruit. The palate remains energetic and balanced through to a dry, persistent finish, with lingering red berry, savoury herb and mineral notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBen’s Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eAt Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Pinot Noir drinkers who enjoy refined New Zealand reds with freshness, aromatic detail and fine texture. The 2024 vintage is approachable now but has enough acidity and tannin to develop further savoury and earthy complexity with bottle age. Best enjoyed over the next 5–8 years. Pair with roast duck and cherry jus, herb-crusted lamb loin, pork tenderloin with fennel and apple, wild mushroom and thyme risotto, or grilled trout with beetroot and fresh herbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eInfo\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"846\" style=\"height: 152px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 252.608px;\"\u003eCOUNTRY\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 312.774px;\"\u003eNew Zealand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 252.608px;\"\u003ePRODUCER\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 312.774px;\"\u003eSato\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 252.608px;\"\u003eVARIETY\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 312.774px;\"\u003ePinot Noir\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 252.608px;\"\u003eSTYLE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 312.774px;\"\u003eRed Wine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 252.608px;\"\u003eVINTAGE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 312.774px;\"\u003e2024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 252.608px;\"\u003eSIZE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 312.774px;\"\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Sato","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67839845794107,"sku":"SOBBPN241275","price":74.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6779\/7699\/files\/2024SatoBannockburnPinotNoir.jpg?v=1793392461","url":"https:\/\/winemore.com.au\/products\/2024-sato-bannockburn-pinot-noir","provider":"Wine More Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
