Bannockburn Vineyards 1314AD Chardonnay 2021 75cl

Tasting Note

A cracking Chardonnay from this wonderful producer in Geelong. Tropical fruit, orchard fruit, citrus fruit… it is all the fruits, and then with a bit of oak, rounding it all off. 

Producer

Stuart Hooper was a successful businessman with a passion for everything about wine. He envisioned creating a vineyard that would produce Australian wine of a quality to emulate the great regions of France.

In the early 1970’s Stuart selected a plot of land in the Moorabool Valley near the township of Bannockburn. A promising site with the desirable soil composition consistent with quality viticulture and a rich history of premium wine grape production dating back to the 1870’s. The initial plantings were shiraz vines. Before long, more land was acquired, more vines and varieties planted – the story had begun.

Althought Stuart passed away, his family still continue his legacy to this day.
