Terra Sancta

Terra Sancta means sacred earth or special place. We are crafting wine in one of the most privileged parts of the world, Bannockburn, Central Otago, New Zealand. Terra Sancta is an 100 per cent Bannockburn producer with our four vineyards, our winery and our team all located in this unique, beautiful part of the world. Mark and Sarah, the co-founders, together with our winemaking and viticulture team lead by Jody Pagey and Len Ibbotson have a focus on not just making thrilling and memorable wines, but on providing people with great experiences. Wine is a part of life, not separate from it.

Wine uniquely translates the earth into a tangible aroma and flavour experience. The schist gravels and the wild thyme with its throw of perfume, create a unique experience of this particular place. Located on Felton Road, the Terra Sancta Estate contains the first vines planted in Bannockburn, and indeed in the entire Wanaka-Cromwell-Bendigo region. Our vineyard has over 6,000 trees and is alive with bees and butterflies, while the earth is covered with the wild thyme that grows so uniquely in the area. TERRA SANCTA
