Collection: Terra Sancta

Terra Sancta is Central Otago's fourth established winery.

Founders Sarah Elliott and Mark Weldon recognised that each of their four vineyards, including Sancta, first planted in 1988, had different soil and site characteristics and the potential to produce excellent wine.

The current head brewer is Andrew Keenlyside, who has experience working in California and New Zealand.

Bannockburn, where Terra Sancta is located, is the only GI in Central Otago. The climate is as dry as a desert, allowing the grapes to ripen healthily while retaining their acidity. The north-facing vineyards and three mountain ranges also provide an ideal environment for grape growing.

The signature Sancta Vineyard was established in 1991 and is Bannockburn's first vineyard. The site and conditions of this vineyard are excellent, producing complex wines that can be aged for a long time.

Their wines have received acclaim from notable critics such as Bob Campbell and James Suckling.
