Vinification & Cultivation

Crafted only for our premium wines

Vineyard Cultivation

Bannockburn's estate Shiraz vineyard benefits from Geelong's consistently cool, maritime-influenced climate and volcanic-derived soils that retain good mineral character. The region's cool growing conditions extend the ripening window, building complex aromatics and fine tannin structure. 1995 was a warm-vintage year by Geelong standards, with generous sunshine and lower rainfall producing riper fruit than typical for the region. The extended season allowed phenolic maturation while preserving acidity.

Vinification

Fruit was hand-selected and destemmed into open fermenters, with natural fermentation and foot plunging to control extraction. Extended maceration developed colour and tannin structure. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation and spent 18 months in French oak, predominantly two-year-old barriques, allowing gradual integration. The approach maintained freshness whilst building secondary complexity through careful oak use.
