Sourced exclusively from Australia’s oldest high-density Pinot Noir planting, established in 1984 in Geelong, Victoria, the MV6 clone vines are rooted in complex clay soils over weathered basalt and limestone. The ultra-low-yielding, close-planted site produces fruit of remarkable concentration, structural authority, and mineral character. Bottled in a 1.5L magnum, it offers ideal aging conditions, allowing its intense varietal focus and complex layers to evolve even more gracefully in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-harvested and crafted with minimal intervention winemaking—including partial whole-cluster inclusion and wild yeast fermentation—the wine is matured in French oak hogsheads (40% new). It opens with an intriguing, complex nose of dark cherry, plum, rust, ground spice, and sweet earthy undertones framed by subtle cedarwood. On the palate, it delivers a concentrated, muscular core of dark fruit bound by a fine-meshed web of sinewy tannins and a taut, vibrant line of natural acidity. Built for exceptional longevity, it pairs superbly with duck breast, roasted game, slow-cooked venison, and aged hard cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Powerful, spicy and aromatic\u003cbr\u003eDark cherry, plum, rust, ground spice, dried herbs, cedarwood, and sweet earthy undertones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Concentrated, taut and structured\u003cbr\u003eDark fruits and wild berry core supported by a fine-meshed web of sinewy tannins, muscle, and vibrant tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long and authoritative\u003cbr\u003ePersistent dark fruit, mineral drive, and savory earth notes with an exceptionally long, structured persistence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“This release is both powerful and taut. It's also noticeably mineral, which helps give it that something extra. It offers a concentrated burst of dark cherry flavour, diving into plum, into rust, ground spice and sweet earth. It's one of those wines that seems to hold onto you, once you take a sip, such is its grip and its authority. The fruit itself wears a corduroy shirt of cedarwood, slim-fit; the body beneath is guns out; muscular and lithe. This is serious stuff, and seriously good.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, 96 Points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrand - Bannockburn\u003cbr\u003eStyle - Red Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Pinot Noir\u003cbr\u003eCountry - Australia\u003cbr\u003eState - Victoria\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Geelong\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2025\u003cbr\u003eABV - 13.5%\u003cbr\u003eSize - 1500ml\u003cbr\u003eCertification - Organic\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bannockburn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44440468324439,"sku":"BB-SERRE-25-1.5L","price":229.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/ea543a0a-93dc-4006-a60e-4bbb404761a8.webp?v=1791777613","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/bannockburn-serre-pinot-noir-2025-1-5l","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
