{"product_id":"2024-bannockburn-s-r-h-chardonnay","title":"2024 Bannockburn S.R.H. Chardonnay","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"121\" data-end=\"440\"\u003eThe S.R.H. is Bannockburn’s flagship Chardonnay, drawn from a tiny block of old P58 vines planted back in 1976. Named in honour of founder Stuart Reginald Hooper, it comes from a north-facing slope at Olive Tree Hill where clay, limestone and ancient marine soils give the fruit its depth and drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"442\" data-end=\"690\"\u003eIn 2024 the fruit was hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed and fermented wild in French oak hogsheads, with a portion new. Partial malolactic and ten months resting on lees (without stirring) has given the wine a beautiful mix of power and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"692\" data-end=\"1031\"\u003eThe result is a Chardonnay that feels tightly wound yet already deeply expressive. Citrus and stone fruit at its core, with a line of mineral energy and chalky grip that stretches out long. It’s the kind of wine that reminds you why Bannockburn sits among Australia’s great Chardonnay producers - complex, refined and clearly built to age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97+ points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"With its aromas of yellow fruits, orange blossom, fennel seeds and crushed rocks, there is a lot going on here!\"\u003cbr\u003e- Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Bannockburn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42130769707051,"sku":"2024 Bannockburn S.R.H.
