Sourced from estate vineyards first planted in 1974 and more recently in 2007, including the Range, Winery Block and De La Roche sites. The clonal mix spans PT23, R6WV28 and Best’s Old Block, offering a deep and layered expression of Bannockburn’s terroir.

Each parcel was handpicked and wild-fermented separately, with around 10% whole bunches and a small portion of carbonic maceration. The wine was pressed to a mix of hogsheads and puncheons, one third new, where it rested for ten months before a final six months in seasoned barriques prior to blending and bottling.

A cooler year has produced a lighter, more energetic style that is ageing gracefully. The palate shows vivid fruit, savoury spice and fine acidity, framed by gentle tannins and a subtle earthiness. Fresh and quietly complex, this is a vibrant, poised expression of Bannockburn Shiraz that carries both brightness and maturity.
