SKU: BANSRHCHA21
The S.R.H. is sourced from just 12 rows of 45-plus-year-old, low-yielding, clone P58 Chardonnay vines in the Olive Tree Hill vineyard. The wine was named in recognition of Bannockburn’s founder, Stuart Reginald Hooper. It’s an exquisite chardonnay of character, depth, energy and epic length.

”Whole-bunch pressed, wild fermentation in French hogsheads (20% new), 11 months on lees, partial mlf. Named in honour of founder, Stuart Hooper, S.R.H. is sourced from the company's best chardonnay block of 12 rows of vines on the Olive Tree Hill vineyard. Superlative Geelong chardonnay! The long, cool '21 season has brought something extra to S.R.H., a multitude of layers of flavour and depth – more than usual – that so impresses. Keeps trim while exploring nectarine, peach, mango skin, baked apple, citrus, honeysuckle with lemon butter and nougat. Good, honest energy throughout. And the taste stays with you a long, long time.”
