The fruit for this wine was hand-picked, predominantly from the Winery Block (planted in the early 1990s), with a portion of declassified fruit from the single-parcel Range vineyard. Fermented naturally with 20% whole bunches, the fruit stayed on skins for four weeks and then matured for 12 months in French oak hogsheads (predominately Remond in Ladoix-Serrigny). No fining and minimal filtration, then plenty of rest in bottle until its recent release.

“Made from fruit grown on the Winery Block at Bannockburn and matured in hogsheads (10% new). I doubt I'll taste too many better under $40 shiraz wines this year (or next) than this! A bright, medium crimson purple, this has an impressive core of dark fruits, lifted floral and white pepper notes and a little tapenade. It's equally impressive on the medium-bodied, spicy and well-balanced palate. Drink now and over the next 2–3 years.” 95pts | Philip Rich | Halliday Wine Companion

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.
