Bannockburn

Bannockburn is a prestigious subregion located on the south bank of the Kawarau River in Central Otago, New Zealand, characterized by north-facing slopes, hot summers, cold winters, and low rainfall creating ideal conditions for growing Pinot Noir. The subregion's schist-based soils with low fertility contribute to intensely flavored wines, particularly its internationally acclaimed Pinot Noir wines known for their depth, concentration, dark fruit profiles, and structural complexity.
