Our Wine
All Bannockburn wines are made from fruit grown on our long-established estate in the Geelong wine region. The meticulously tended, mature vineyards, complex soils, unique climate, and careful attention in the winery result in wines that are exciting, complex, and uniquely Bannockburn. Our range of varieties includes Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Shiraz, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Gamay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. We produce blended wines as well as several celebrated single-vineyard wines.
The Estate wines tell the story of our property as a whole—a composite of soil, aspect, clone, and vine age from our 22 hectares of vineyard. We take great pride in these estate blends, which offer an honest insight into the vintage of any given year.
The Single Vineyard wines are the ultimate expression of our terroir, highlighting the unique and desirable attributes of specific sites. These small-volume wines showcase the individuality of specific blocks within our estate while reflecting seasonal variation from year to year. We do not aim to produce reserve-style wines; rather, these wines are bottled as Single Vineyard wines because the plots have something distinct to say.
The 1314 range of wines is made from estate-grown fruit and crafted in a vibrant, approachable style for early enjoyment and refreshing drinking. This range is treated with the same care and attention to detail as all the wines in our collection. The criteria for this range are based on barrel selection, focusing on suitability for earlier bottling and release, ensuring immediate appeal and enjoyment.
The Museum Release range has been matured on-site at the vineyard by us. We maintain a small library of back-vintage bottles in our cellars, releasing them with varying levels of maturity. We intentionally select wines that benefit from extended evolution. The idea is to offer a window into the maturation process at different stages of a wine’s life.
