Description
Bannockburn Vineyards (25 kms north west of Geelong) have been one of the trailblazers of Australian fine wine for over 37 years. This is by new winemaker Matt Holmes and from this we can tell a great Australian Estate is clearly in safe hands. That makes him one-all with Michael Glover, whose 2014 was the preceding winemaker’s first and last release under this bottling. Holmes’ wine is a cracker. It’s aromatic and pulpy with fleshy nectarine and saline, rock pool scents, then full and textured in the mouth, lengthened by balanced acids and a very subtle hint of oak spice.
Drawn predominantly from the Stuart and Winery blocks, the fruit was handpicked. A portion of the fruit had overnight skin contact, but the majority was whole bunch pressed before (wild) fermentation in puncheons. Impressive.
