ABOUT
From wild and beautiful Central Otago, comes New Zealand’s first artisanal wine-based
botanical Aperitivo. Created by Terra Sancta’s resident Witch, Seer and Alchemist, it is
made from the botanicals that surround our Bannockburn vineyards. “Aperitivo” stems
from the Latin word Aperire meaning “to open”. Designed to be consumed at the start
of either lunch or dinner as an Aperitivo, it will open you digestively and socially all
whilst providing a portal - an opening - into our special part of the world - Terra Sancta
in Bannockburn, Central Otago.
HARVEST
Foraged from Terra Sancta’s Bannockburn vineyards and surrounds during our wine
grape harvest, it expresses the character of our special part of the world at our favourite
time of year. From March through to May, botanicals of every kind are collected by the
Terra Sancta team from the vineyard, the banks of the Kawarau River and Central Otago
and stored in our winery in preparation for drying and extraction during spring.
