Antica Terra Antikythera Pinot Noir 2018 is a highly esteemed single-vineyard red wine from Oregon`s Eola-Amity Hills AVA, crafted from 100% Pinot Noir grapes by winemaker Maggie Harrison. This flagship bottling comes from Antica Terra`s estate vineyard, situated on a rocky hillside with unique ancient seabed soils composed of fractured sandstone and fossilised oyster shells, forcing the vines to struggle and yield intensely concentrated fruit. Aromas of cherry, red plum, and subtle herbal notes are complemented by hints of earthiness and smoke. The palate reveals a focused structure with fine tannins and a distinct mineral core.

- Deep magenta. A highly complex, deeply perfumed bouquet evokes red and blue fruit preserves, candied flowers, incense, sassafras and Moroccan spices. Impressively concentrated and expansive yet vibrant on the palate, offering mineral-tinged, sappy black raspberry, blueberry, cherry cola, lavender and spicecake flavors that show superb clarity and mineral thrust. Delivers a compelling blend of power and finesse, closing with emphatic, floral- and spice-driven tenacity and slowly building, polished tannins that lend discreet grip.

Bold and Beautiful

Antica Terra is the exciting project of ex-Sine Qua Non assistant winemaker Maggie Harrison in the Eola-Amity Hills of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. This large-scale investment project was established in a bid to create Oregon Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays (though Roussanne features too) that would stand shoulder to shoulder with the great wines in the world.

The primary focus is Pinot Noir, with no fewer than seven different Pinot Noir clones grown on the estate. Forensic attention is paid to the quality of the grapes which produce Antica Terra wines. Harrison’s winemaking, meanwhile, is very simple: natural ferments, manually punchdowns and foot-treading of the grapes, siphons and buckets used to transfer wine into barrel rather than electric pumps, no cold settling, no racking; then simply ageing on the lees before bottling without fining or filtration. The result is wines of exceptional quality and immense personality.
