Named for Bannockburn founder Stuart Reginald Hooper, Bannockburn SRH Chardonnay uses fruit sourced from Estate’s oldest Chardonnay vines at Olive Tree Hill Vineyard.
Followers of Bannockburn will know that S.R.H. comes off the oldest, lowest-yielding Chardonnay vines in the Olive Tree Hill vineyard and is named in recognition of Bannockburn’s founder, Stuart Reginald Hooper. These twelve rows of 45-year-old vines have roots well embedded in the ancient marine sediments that form the bedrock in this area. They seem to suck the minerality right out of their subsoil and deliver a spine-tingling wash of salinity to support the intense richness of flavour and texture for which this benchmark is well known.
The 2017 was wild-fermented in French oak puncheons and hogsheads (25% new), and then spent 11 months on lees with no stirring, undergoing full malolactic fermentation. Sulphur was only added before bottling in February 2018. Our clients won't need reminding of the energy and layered definition of this special Victorian vintage—here you get all the power, depth and complex stone fruit/saline intensity that we expect of this site, with the added freshness and drive of a great vintage.
