Volcanic topsoil, and mixed clays and sands over limestone are typical of our site, and so this wine is named De La Terre, meaning “of the earth”. The combination of east-west aligned rows on a flat and north-south rows on a east facing slope captures even more detail of the terroir.
Whole bunch and whole berry fermentation manifest as transparency in this wine, maintained in the relatively inert puncheon oak format. Cola (perhaps from the 777 clone) and spice aromatics lead into a savoury and complex palate featuring fine tannin and well integrated oak.
10% whole bunch fermentation, indigenous yeast, approximately three weeks on skins. 12 months in French hogsheads (30% new), then racked to older puncheons. Blended and bottled in May, 2016.

2015 Bannockburn De La Terre Pinot Noir, Geelong, a serious burgundian style pinot noir. Loads of black brooding fruit, is interwoven with mocha spice and some racy red fruit acidity. Just keeps changing in the glass, with more blasts of spicy meat and fruitcakes running through. Beef stroganoff, will be saturday night bliss.
