“Distinctive, complex and enticing – 95 Points from Cameron Douglas MS”
› Tasting Notes

The inaugural release of Swiftsure Bannockburn Pinot Noir has a powerful aromatic profile — both fruitful and savoury — with boysenberry, rhubarb and cherry blossom interwoven with tendrils of smoke and a faint scent of nori.

The palate shows good density with a succession of berry fruit characters and a touch more of the umami feel. The tannins are wrapped in the warmth of vintage days with a vibrancy that evokes the cool, jewelled Central Otago night sky.

› Accolades & Reviews

Cameron Douglas MS: 95 Points – “Distinctive, complex and enticing bouquet of ripe dark-skinned cherry and baked raspberry, with classic cool-climate savoury notes, barrel spice, wood smoke and wild thyme. Taut, youthful, textured and varietal with a delicious core of ripe red berries and savoury spice. A wine to cellar and enjoy from 2026 through 2034+.”

› Food Pairing

Serve with roasted duck breast, wild mushroom ragù, or a truffle-scented lentil salad. Its earthy, savoury character makes it a dream with umami-rich dishes and creamy cheeses like Brie or Taleggio.

Located in Marlborough and Bannockburn, Central Otago, the vineyards are situated at two extremes of the Southern Alps. This majestic mountain range extends 500km from the Northeast to the Southwest along the South Island’s Alpine Fault.
