Bannockburn Sauvignon Blanc 2026

Bannockburn Sauvignon Blanc is a restrained, site-driven Sauvignon Blanc from certified organic vines in Geelong.

Matt Holmes continues to refine this wine, with cellar work pared back so that old vines and limestone soils set the character. For 2026 the fruit comes from two small parcels planted in 1996, covering just one acre of mixed clay over limestone, certified organic since 2021. The handpicked fruit was whole-bunch pressed, settled overnight and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel, then held three months on lees before bottling. There is no oak in this release. The Moorabool Valley is cool and dry, which keeps this variety well clear of the tropical register it reaches further north.

Taut and finely structured, with hay, chalk and citrus on the nose and a palate of green apple and citrus, chalky tension and a long savoury finish — texture and structure ahead of overt varietal character. Serve at 10 to 12°C alongside grilled fish, chicken with tarragon, or a plate of oysters.
