95 Points - Campbell Mattinson
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.
Bannockburn is consistently rated amongst Australia's finest Chardonnays and the 2024 Bannockburn Chardonnay is another faultless, complex Chardonnay. An exceptional release that strikes a mouth-watering balance between fruit weight, tensile acidity and supple texture. Stone fruit flavours are complemented by richer characters and balanced by crystalline freshness, tangy grip and a lengthy, complex finish. Another classic expression of Bannockburn Chardonnay that will please the many fans of this wine.
"95 Points. This is a hard yes. It’s both flavoursome and frisky, it’s long through the finish, it has texture but it keeps up the momentum. Stonefruit, flint, nashi pear, a umami note and flashes of nougat and cedar. Everything here is in alignment and in harmony. It’s another beautiful chardonnay from Bannockburn.Tasted : May25. 13% alc. $75. Screwcap. Drink: 2026 - 2034"- Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front.
