Bannockburn Pinot Noir 2016

Bannockburn is home to Australia’s oldest close planted Pinot Noir vines. So it’s no wonder their Pinots are considered an Australian classic.
 
In the winery: Batches of Pinot Noir from Bannockburn’s different estate blocks were fermented with indigenous yeast, 20% whole bunch in final blend.
In the glass: Light Pinot red to garnet.
On the nose: Spice driven with white strawberry and mushroom combining with dark cherry and white pepper.
On the palate: Elegant and long with a strawberry and dark cherry core then fennel spice, dusty herb and savoury barrel through to the green olive-like finish.
