Bannockburn Chardonnay 2025

Region: Geelong Grapes: Chardonnay First Glance: Stonefruit, Spices, Grapefruit, Wet Stones Acclaim: 96pts The Review: Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front - 96pts "There are yellow stone fruits characters here, and an array of sweet spice notes, but it’s the flesh, the rush and the juice of grapefruit and ripe pear flavours that both dominate and seduce. This wine really does make you dive quickly in for more. There’s a subtle smokiness, some tonic and mineral-like notes, and an especially noticeable (extra) linger to the finish. This is one of those wines where the acidity itself feels flushed with flavour. The aftertaste then adds some pebble-stone characters, just because it can. What a wine."
