Since the 1980s, Bannockburn has been producing wines inspired by Burgundy and truly reflecting the winery’s unique terroir. Gary Farr originally planted the vines, producing wines coming from this unique vineyard in Geelong show a rare sense of place. The next chapter in Bannockburn has since commenced with the appointment of new head winemaker, Matt Holmes. Previously, Matt had been making wine in the Okanagan wine region of British Columbia, Canada. During these 10 years he also worked on additional vintages in France, Italy, New Zealand, and the U.S. Bannockburn Pinot Noir 2019 vintage is a single vineyard wines telling unique stories. This wine has been telling the composite story of season at Bannockburn since 1980. Love the firmness of this. The impression of confidence. This has weight to it in a varietal sense, a freshness too, a composure. This is bold with red and black cherry, beet, dry spice and stem, the fruit ripe but not sweet, the spice more earthen than roasted. It’s still evolving on the nose but the palate has all the credentials. Hold this. It’s going to evolve beautifully – Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front, 9 Points The Finer Details Style – Red Wine Varietal – Pinot Noir Country – Australia Region – Geelong, Victoria Vintage – 2019 Bottle Size – 750ml ABV – 13.5%
