Bannockburn Vineyards was established by the late Stuart Hooper in 1974; his vision was to create a vineyard which would produce Australian wine of a quality to emulate the great wines of France, in particular top-line Burgundies.
The 2024 Bannockburn Gamay marks the third release of this wine, but the first year with sufficient yields to offer to a wider audience. Inspired by the wines of Beaujolais this is a combination of mouthwatering, juicy vibrance and creamy intent. Densely packed, it shows a mélange of blue fruit, pink peppercorn spice and a floral, herbal lift draped over Bannockburn’s savoury terroir character. A top-line Aussie Gamay, our limited stocks will go fast.
"94 Points. This is a spicy, nutty, bunchy gamay. It leans heavily towards the savoury side of things, it’s whole bunch influence clear. Cranberry, red cherry, game, assorted roasted nuts and all those smoked herbs. There’s a tension to this wine, and a fine-sinew aspect. It’s an excellent example of the high-savoury style. Tasted: May25 13% alc. $45. Screwcap Drink: 2025 - 2030+"- Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
