‘L’Ultima Volta’, meaning ‘the last time’ in Italian, is both a gift and a farewell. First bottled as an Una Volta in 2020, this tiny parcel was never intended to return. When the opportunity arose to work with it once more in 2024, we accepted with gratitude, knowing it would truly be the last time. The vineyard has since changed hands, gently closing a shared chapter. Sourced from the Renaissance Vineyard on the famed Felton Road in Bannockburn, Central Otago, the site was organically farmed by close family friends dedicated to Pinot Noir since 1999.

True to this special site, the L’Ultima Volta reveals a layered interplay of red and black fruits, lifted by fine rose florals and an evocative earthy, umami depth. Fragrant and finely structured, it carries a quiet intensity and persistence capturing a singular moment in time.
