TERRA SANCTA
Unicorn wines are usually defined by scarcity and stratospheric price tags.
The 2024 Terra Sancta Mysterious Diggings Pinot Noir has just been ranked #4 in James Suckling’s Top 100 Wines of the World, with an extraordinary 98 points — AND it’s available, affordable, and ready for delivery/collection.
From the schist soils of Bannockburn, Central Otago, this pinot shows vivid red fruits, fine spice, and the kind of balance and energy usually reserved for far pricier wines.
Recognition this high rarely comes at this price, or in this quantity, and it won’t stay that way for long.

A New Release from Bollinger
Bollinger B16 Extra Brut
RRP: $305 | Offer $239
73% Pinot Noir, 27% Chardonnay, from mainly late-ripening terroirs on the Montagne de Reims. After 7 years' ageing on lees the wine saw a dosage of 4 g/l.
'Lively and more floral than many a Bollinger champagne – almost transparent and filigree. The opposite of heavy with marked but not excessive acidity at this stage. Much is happening at the house of Bollinger under chef de cave Denis Bunner!' 17.5 Jancis Robinson |
