Bannockburn 'De La Roche' Shiraz 2017

Planted in 2007, this 0.8-hectare vineyard is littered with volcanic rocks (hence the name) and lies on the plateau above the De La Terre slope--essentially making it a westerly extension of the Serré vineyard. It was originally planted with various clonal cuttings from Best's and Tahbilk.

A super-complex, savoury, tapenade, ferrous, roasted meat and peppercorn-noted nose leads to an equally savoury yet also seductive, smooth and textural palate. Really velvety even if the finish is sappy and super vibrant. Such a unique and delicious wine in the firmament of Australian Shiraz/Syrah.

“…Bannockburn produces outstanding wines across the range, all with individuality, style, great complexity and depth of flav our. The low-yielding estate vineyards play their role. Winemaker Michael Glover is determined to enhance the reputation of Bannockburn.” James Halliday
