The new kid on the block is a 100% Shiraz rosé made with fruit grown on the Bannockburn winery block (planted in 1990 and expanded in 1996). The soils here are dense clay over limestone and, as is now the norm at Bannockburn, the vineyard is farmed with organic principles.
“…Bannockburn produces outstanding wines across the range, all with individuality, style, great complexity and depth of flavour. The low-yielding estate vineyards play their role. Winemaker Michael Glover is determined to enhance the reputation of Bannockburn.” James Halliday
Bannockburn's viticultural principles are based on a healthy respect for the land and responsible farming, e.g. the use of organic composting and straw mulching to eliminate need for herbicide sprays and the cultivation of inter-row cover crops to add soil nutrients. Wines are made on a low-intervention basis.
