SKU: BANWBLCHA24
During the winery’s construction in 1981, Bannockburn’s Winery Block was planted to chardonnay P58, also know as the Old Penfolds Clone. Since that time, the Winery Block has formed the heart and soul of Bannockburn’s Estate Chardonnay. The consistent, textural core of citrus, orchard fruit and struck match you find in the Estate Chardonnay—that’s the Winery Block. The soils range from dark brown clay to sandier topsoil, over weathered basalt and limestone.

Palate
Bannockburn in a glass, offering layers of pulpy texture and purity alongside loads of stone fruit, matchstick, and hay-like complexity that stretch out like satin on the palate. Harmonious, caressing and speaks with the clarity of place. It closes with a bright streak of chalky acidity cutting through on the long, focused finish.

Food Pairing
Grilled blueye with capers, butter and citrus.
”This is stellar. It’s a wine of both power and length and with a bit of extra character as well. Apples, peaches, slips of pear skin and nuts, perhaps some stonefruit pips as well, or certainly something that seems both fruity and woody at once. It’s not reticent or restrained but nor is it exaggerated; it’s alive with flavour, fit and firing you could say, ripped with muscle and energy. Touch and go for 96. In any case it’s superb.”
