[SOLD-OUT] Bannockburn Riesling 2015

"2015 marks the beginning of a new chapter in the legendary history of Bannockburn, as the first vintage of wines made by Matthew Holmes after Michael Glover's departure. Bannockburn have always been pioneers, regularly challenging viticultural and winemaking norms in Australia. Holmes shows with this wine he will be neither shy or safe at the helm. His first Riesling features both skin contact and extended lees aging in old oak barrel - unheard of! The result is a unique Riesling expression that's immediately delicious and ultimately memorable for its singularity."

"Bannockburn Riesling is made from a one acre plot of Riesling vines dry-grown on our Olive Tree Hill vineyard which was planted in 1978. In 2015, about 1/4 of the grapes were left overnight on skins before pressing; the remaining portion of fruit went straight to the air bag press. The combined juices then settled, racked and transferred to tank for fermentation. Bottled after 6 months. Lime and grapefruit anchor a complex nose. The acid is approachable but cleansing with weight enhanced by phenolics from the skins. Citrus notes again on the palate, also chalk, minerals, talc and spiced tea flavours."
