[SOLD-OUT] Bannockburn SRH Chardonnay 2009


Campbell Mattinson 95 points!

Campbell Mattinson 95 points!
Made from 12 rows of hillside chardonnay, dry-grown, planted in 1976. It spent two years on lees in oak, and then another year on lees in stainless steel.

It opens cashewy, showy and dramatic but settles down to really show what it's made of. This is a chardonnay to settle in and spend an evening with. There's a softness to its texture and yet it's racy and long. It shows signs of shell grit and grapefruit and lemon, and yet it has softer floral notes too. It's a bit grumpy and bitter on the finish, which seems apt given that its maker " Michael Glover " always looks a little grumpy. The 2009 season wasn't necessarily kind but the SRH section of the vineyard has grown a pearl.
