Naturally low yielding, north facing, this site consistently produces deeply coloured, firmly structured wines. Now at fifty years of age, these vines offer a rare expression of mature Pinot Noir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eViticulture\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlive Tree Hill is made from own-rooted MV6 Pinot Noir planted in 1976. As the oldest Pinot Noir vines on the property, this block consistently produces low yields of small, concentrated berries. The rows run east-west and are slightly terraced on a north-facing slope, giving the vines excellent sun exposure. For almost fifty years, it has delivered Pinot Noir of depth, structure, and now, serious old vine power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandpicked fruit was fermented in open-top fermenters, with a portion of whole cluster layered through the ferments. The wine spent 10 days on skins before being pressed to French oak hogsheads, of which 40% was new. Malolactic fermentation occurred naturally, and the wine remained untouched, on lees, through maturation for 10 months prior to blending and bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTasting Note\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDark cherry, blackberry, dried herbs, spice and savoury complexity define the nose, with earthy notes of turned soil and damp forest floor. The oldest Pinot Noir vines on the property bring remarkable concentration and depth, giving the wine both power and elegance. Rich and layered, the palate is full and rounded, complete and beautifully balanced, with fine tannins carrying a calm, settled power through to a long, persistent finish. Generous and grounded, Olive Tree Hill continues to demonstrate the character and potential of old vine Pinot Noir at Bannockburn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eReviews\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bannockburn Vineyards","offers":[{"title":"Single","offer_id":44402537922663,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1771\/8143\/files\/OTH50.png?v=1752646283","url":"https:\/\/bannockburnvineyards.com\/products\/olive-tree-hill-pinot-noir-2025","provider":"Bannockburn Vineyards","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
