justerini & brooks tasting note

A supple, open and engaging Chardonnay with tasty classical notes of citrus and stone fruit, finishing with hints of nut kernels and green olives. Whole bunch pressed and raised in old oak barrels. 95% from the Elms vineyard and 5% Cornish point.

critic reviews

92/100Rebecca Gibb,Vinous

The 2022 Chardonnay Bannockburn sits in a lovely ripeness bracket, offering up finesse and focus with just enough creamy richness built through the mid-palate. It is restrained and savory with subtle nutty nuances and white-fleshed stoned fruit. Elegant, concentrated – I'm very impressed. A little more length would elevate it further, but this is a great value for the money. It's a silky Chardonnay that Burgundy lovers would be delighted to have in their glass.

91/100Erin Larkin,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2022 Bannockburn Chardonnay leads with roasted pineapple, green apple, crushed pine nuts and brine. In the mouth, the wine is glossy and slick, with polish and flow in equal measure. Only 4% to 6% new oak was used across all of the Chardonnay cuvees in 2022. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
