      The 2022 Bannockburn Shiraz continues to demonstrate the exceptional character of the estate’s vineyards, combining fruit from the Winery Block (planted in 1990), Range Block (1974), and a touch of declassified De La Roche (2007). These vineyards sit on volcanic scoria over basalt, clay, and loam, with a limestone-clay base, creating a perfect environment for growing Shiraz with distinct mineral and savoury characteristics.

      The growing conditions in 2022 were ideal, with a balanced ripening period following a wet spring. The Shiraz was spontaneously fermented with 10% whole bunches and a touch of carbonic maceration, enhancing the wine’s brightness and purity. After spending two weeks on skins, it was pressed and matured for 10 months in a mix of French oak hogsheads and puncheons (10% new). Winemaker Matt Holmes focused on reducing new oak and incorporating more carbonic influence, allowing the inherent savoury qualities of the mature Winery Block to shine through. This meticulous approach resulted in a mid-weight Shiraz with vibrant berry fruit, savoury depth, and striking structure.

      Bannockburn Shiraz 2022

      Savoury and earth-driven. with notes of Damson plums, graphite, blackcurrants and spices. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with focused acidity and finely integrated tannins, giving notes of wild blackberries, wet earth, cured meat and dried herbs. Wonderfully balanced and giving. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

      The 2022 Shiraz Geelong leads with distinctive game and cocoa, meat crust and peppercorns. In the mouth, the wine is silky and fine and so reminiscent of the bouquet. The finish is laden with cocoa powder and dried mint, clove and tarragon. Lovely wine, it is precisely distinctive of Bannockburn. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

      Bannockburn

      Bannockburn Vineyards, founded by Stuart Hooper in 1974, has earned a reputation as one of the Barossa Valley’s most respected estates. With a vision to create exceptional quality wines, Stuart’s journey began with the planting of Shiraz vines in the region’s unique terroir of volcanic soil and ancient sea beds. Over the years, Bannockburn’s growth continued with the addition of new vineyards and varieties, leading to the estate’s current focus on organic farming and sustainable viticulture. Matt Holmes, who joined as the winemaker in 2015, has continued the legacy with a fresh perspective, placing emphasis on minimal intervention winemaking. Under Matt’s direction, Bannockburn has evolved stylistically, moving towards a racier, more precise expression of the vineyard’s character while maintaining its core focus on quality, balance, and expression of terroir. Today, Bannockburn Vineyards is known for its distinct wines, especially its iconic Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, crafted from some of the oldest vines in the Geelong region.
