Bannockburn Chardonnay 2021 1.5L

Bannockburn Vineyards’ commitment to quality drives everything they do, from the vineyard to the bottle. Bannockburn Chardonnay 2021 vintage was made from fruit grown across all vineyard sites; Olive Tree Hill, Winery Block, Stuart Block & Kelly Lane. The oldest vines planted in 1976, through to the most recent 2016 planting. This wine has consistently been rated as one of Australia’s best Chardonnays, reflecting the ideal combination of limestone soils, cool climate and mature vines. Bannockburn chardonnay is never short of flavour and so to this release, though the fresh zing of the finish brings a more modern twist, arguably. Pear, grapefruit, peach, cracked wheat and cedar flavours come strong and convincing, aided by citrus and fennel notes, the latter especially notable on the finish. The flavour of tinned pear here is as strong as it is delicious, it must be noted. This is an excellent release; it’s good for drinking now but it has many years up its sleeve. – Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, 94 Points The Finer Details Style – White Wine Varietal – Chardonnay Country – Australia Region – Geelong, Victoria Vintage – 2021 Bottle Size – 1.5L Magnum ABV – 13.4%
