2024 Bannockburn '1314' Geelong Rose
The Bannockburn vineyard was planted in 1974, by Stuart Hooper. He had a love for Burgundy and wanted to establish a vineyard in Victoria that could produce great Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Stuart has passed away, but the Hooper family still own the property.
· 91pts Philip Rich (Wine Companion), "A blend of estate cabernet sauvignon/merlot/riesling/shiraz. An iridescent salmon pink. Leaps out of the glass with its aromas of ripe red apples, blood oranges and mountain herbs. Flavoursome, gently textured and refreshing and a good accompaniment to a barbecued lamb cutlet and salads this summer."
