Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Supple pinot noir with floral/violet, Dark cherry, vanilla, spicy oak, and recognisable Bannockburn features. Accessible now but will reward cellaring also.

Hand harvested fruit was tipped to tank without destemming (100% whole Bunches). A 4-day cold soak then took place to build colour and intensity of flavour. The must was inoculated with yeast and selected for their ability to add complexity. Fermentation lasted 18 days with peak temperatures reaching 31 degrees. A Post fermentation maceration period of 5 days followed which allowed tannins to build and the wine to find balance before pressing to tank. Following settling in tank the wine was racked to French barriques of which 33% were new. The wine then underwent malolactic fermentation and matured for ten months in oak before being racked, blended and bottled on April the 1st, 2023."

5 Stars & 97/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, December 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"The wine combines richness with spicy/savoury nuances; the engaging bouquet shows dark berry, bouquet garni, cured meat and nutmeg notes, leading to a refined palate that’s filled with juicy fruit flavours with loads of fine, polished tannins. It’s sturdy with a firm grip, yet harmonious and wonderfully proportioned with a persistent satisfying finish. At its best: now to 2035."

94/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review (2022 Vintage)
"Supple pinot noir with floral/violet, dark cherry, vanilla, spicy oak and recognisable Bannockburn features. Accessible now but will benefit from a few years careful cellaring."
