Grown organically on MV6 clone vines rooted in complex clay soils over weathered basalt and limestone, the ultra-low-yielding site produces fruit of remarkable concentration, depth, and structural authority. Winemaker Matt Holmes utilizes traditional minimal intervention winemaking, including partial whole-cluster inclusion and wild yeast fermentation, followed by maturation in French oak hogsheads (40% new) to craft a wine of intense varietal focus and profound age-worthiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine displays an impressive aromatic profile dominated by dark cherry, plum, dried herbs, and exotic ground spices, balanced by woodsmoke, cedarwood, and sweet earthy minerality. On the palate, it delivers a powerful, tightly structured core of dark red fruit wrapped in fine-meshed, sinewy, grapey tannins and a taut, muscular body. A vibrant line of natural acidity carries the wine through to a long, authoritative, and mineral-driven finish. Built for longevity, this release represents one of the most complete and harmoniously balanced expressions from this legendary historic vineyard.\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 - 750ml\u003cbr\u003eCertification - Organic\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bannockburn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44440467931223,"sku":"BB-SERRE-25","price":94.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/edbea2e6-0027-41ef-a0da-c96cd1436959.webp?v=1791777596","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/bannockburn-serre-pinot-noir-2025","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
