The award winning wines were grown on Desert Heart’s own vines, which display the bright fruit characteristics of classical Pinot Noir. The name pays tribute to the land, because Pinot Noir more than any other grape reflects where it is grown. Desert Heart also references Bannockburn's history as the 'Heart of the Desert' during the gold rush era. It is also a reflection on the vineyard's atypical climatic conditions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA full, opulent wine with lots of complex, pure Central Otago Pinot Noir, the wine displays, concentrated dark fruit and raspberry aromas and flavours with complex spicy smoky herbs with underlying hints of forest floor.
