Bannockburn Chardonnay 2023

Drawn mostly from the Estate's Olive Tree Hill Vineyard (planted in 1976) and Winery Block (1981), on volcanic soils over limestone, the average age of vines sits around the 35-year-old mark.

2023 also includes fruit from Stuart Block (1997) and Kelly Lane Vineyard (2016). Due to the minuscule yields in 2023, the Bannockburn team could not make a Grigsby Chardonnay, so fruit from this exceptional, close-planted block was also included in this wine.

Bannockburn Grigsby Chardonnay 2022

Producer Note - "Grigsby is our close planted, certified organic Chardonnay block planted in 2007. Named in honour of our viticulturalist Lucas Grigsby, who has been with us since 1987; this block continues our explorations into high-density viticulture, this time with Chardonnay"

"Light-medium yellow colour with a rich and toasty/oaky bouquet that enshrines nougat, roasted hazelnuts and creamy lees derived facets. A very complex chardonnay, full and rich and generous in the mouth with a long-lasting aftertaste. A ripping chardonnay." … more

Bannockburn Pinot Noir 2023

This excellent release is an amalgamation of Bannockburn's entire spectrum of vineyards. The 2023 includes fruit from Olive Tree Hill, planted in 1976, 10 Rows (1991), Stuart Block (1997) and Anns Block (2004). As with the Chardonnay, 2023's paltry yields meant the team could not make De La Terre Pinot Noir, so fruit from that close-planted block was included in this blend.

"This is excellent. Fine, tight, intricate, wild and precise at once. Not exactly sure how they do that … more

Bannockburn S.R.H. Chardonnay 2023

96 points, Erin Larkin, The Wine Companion  "The 2023 SRH Chardonnay is textural and taut; it is bound in phenolics at this point, but clearly superb. The length of flavour shows this. The complexity shows this. It's a hugely impressive wine that speaks of white peach, green apples, green olive brine, white strawberries and white pepper. It's salty and a little chewy. This will be a seriously great wine-give it time. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap."

Bannockburn Serré Pinot Noir 2023

 95+ points, Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front  "This is autumnal and sinewy and savoury and spiced, but it's also sleek, harmonious and settled. It bursts onto the palate with red cherries, rhubarb, tangerine and strawberry, with inlays of dried leaves, pepper and smoked cedarwood, but it's the soft-firm of the finish, and the way it seems to both dry and expand at once, and the way the juices keep flowing and fanning, that really mark its quality. It's a top … more
