Kinross Growers Series - 'Bannockburn Vineyard' Fumé Sauvignon Blanc 2024
Regular price $45.00 Save $-45.00Tasting Notes
Single vineyard. 100% hand-picked Bannockburn Sauvignon blanc fruit.
The fruit was 100% whole bunch pressed. Aged for 7 months in 30% new French oak. Full malolactic fermentation. No fining.
We carefully selected a tiny vineyard on Cairnmuir Road, that produced only 2 tonnes of incredible fruits in 2024. Bannockburn was settled in the 1860s as a gold-mining town after land around the Kawarau River was found to be full of the mineral. Bannockburn's "man-made" soils have proved excellent for premium viticulture and, along with the naturally occurring schist and gravels and heavier sandy loam soils, have given growers excellent soil diversity in the area.
Bannockburn has one of the warmest, driest climates in Central Otago, a fact that has earned it the nickname "heart of the desert". Warm summers are followed by long autumns, although the harvest here can come almost a month earlier than in the cooler region like Gibbston.
