Rating: 91 –91

The 2021 Bannockburn Chardonnay is creamy and nutty, with white peach, green apple, white pepper, vanilla pod and Portuguese tart. Not hugely complex, but it is a lovely wine with plenty of pleasure woven throughout. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Rating: 91 –91

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 cuvées in 2022. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Rating: 90 –90

The 2023 Bannockburn Chardonnay is lean and tremendously tightly coiled at this stage, with notes of crushed and salted nuts, white peach, lemon, green apple and lemongrass. In the mouth, the acidity is a real factor in the drinking experience: it defines the finish and contributes to the overall leanness of the wine. It's crunchier than expected, but at 14% alcohol, it's certainly not underripe. Interesting angles, all of them. The Felton Road vineyard is situated below the 45th parallel, making it and the vineyards of southern New Zealand some of the most southern vineyards on the planet. Sealed under screw cap.
