A lovely Bannockburn pinot noir. Opens with perfumed aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, rose bush and subtle cardamom and nutmeg spice. Medium bodied on the palate, with an excellent core of fruit, yet it's equally light on its feet. The tannins are sinewy and in perfect harmony with the fruit. Very long.

This is how each micro-batch and each plot can be kept separate. - There are reserve wines kept in 800,000 magnums! - In 2015, a very warm year, the level of “fresher” chardonnay was increased to 40% from 30%; and the amount of Mountain de Rheims was also increased (over Vallee de la Marne) because these wines are “fresher and sharper” according to Denis. To this end only 11 communes out of a possible 20 were used. - Denis says that “2015 is like a firework, there is an exotic element of tropical mango with the red fruits and roast pear. It has great vinosity with a lovely slight orange-peel bitterness. It’s a hugely generous wine.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Randall's Fine Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43230445240500,"sku":"15BOLGLGA750","price":250.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0561\/1261\/1508\/files\/Bollinger_La_Grande_Anee.jpg?v=1762392773"},{"product_id":"2020-chateau-de-beauregard-pouilly-fuisse-1er-cru-vers-cras-750ml-bottle-copy","title":"2022 Chateau de Beauregard Pouilly Fuisse 1er Cru 'Vers Cras' 750ml Bottle","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnother gleaming green and gold.

From our oldest Chardonnay vines at Olive Tree Hill. East–west rows on a north-facing slope over marine-influenced soils. This is consistently our most intense and concentrated Chardonnay. We suspect the presence of marine sediment in the soils contributes to the wine’s electricity and energy. Deep citrus and stone fruit, firm structure and minerality. Built to age.'
