If Bannockburn’s spring releases are any indication—and they typically are—2025 is poised to be another excellent vintage for Matt Holmes and Co. But don’t just take our word for it. “These new releases,” says Gus Pollard, “are some of the most expressive and precise examples we’ve made of these varieties, each carrying a real sense of the season’s character.” From a vintage defined by the clarity, vibrancy, and energy of its wines, the 1314 Rosé is a no brainer for summer dining, while the Riesling mainlines the texture and tension that Holmes ekes out of Bannockburn’s old vines (1976!) and limestone soils. Then there’s the Sauvignon Blanc, the wine that has seen perhaps the most significant stylistic change of late. Since 2021, Holmes has melded this wine’s old-vine depth into a more textural and mouthwatering style than that of old. All the wines come highly recommended!
