“The late Stuart Hooper had a deep love for the wines of Burgundy, and was able to drink the best. When he established Bannockburn, it was inevitable that pinot noir and chardonnay would form the major part of the plantings... Bannockburn is still owned by members of the Hooper family, who continue to respect Stuart’s strong belief in making wines that reflect the flavours of the certified-organic vineyard.” ★★★★★ Halliday Wine Companion The message from Bannockburn over the last year has effectively been “believe the hype” in reference to what will surely become a legendary vintage, and we’re inclined to agree. The annual release of the Estate level wines from one of Australia’s most iconic producers is always a major event, but the 2025 vintage feels especially compelling. This release reflects a team operating at the very top of its game, delivering wines of exceptional quality across the board. After an extended period of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir being out of stock and anticipation at a peak, this is very much a case of don’t walk, run! Please note, the wines will be officially released on Monday the 1st of June.
