The estate's philosophy of minimal intervention and respect for the land has earned it a place among Australia's most celebrated producers, consistently delivering wines of exceptional quality and regional authenticity. Geelong's maritime influence from Port Phillip Bay moderates temperatures, creating ideal conditions for Shiraz of elegance, structure and aromatic complexity — more Northern Rhône than Barossa, with pepper, spice and savoury complexity at the fore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt represents:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecool-climate Geelong Shiraz from one of Victoria's most historic and celebrated founding estates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBannockburn's minimal-intervention approach to showcasing the extraordinary potential of Geelong's volcanic soils and maritime climate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoutstanding value for a triple 95-point, food-friendly and age-worthy Geelong Shiraz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWine Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shiraz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Geelong, VIC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bannockburn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eServing Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16–18°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCellaring:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drink now – 2035\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrilled lamb cutlets with rosemary and garlic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlow-cooked beef short ribs with red wine jus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuck breast with cherry reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMushroom risotto with truffle oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAged cheddar or Manchego\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy We Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is silky, elegantly structured cool-climate\u003cstrong\u003e Geelong Shiraz\u003c\/strong\u003e from one of Victoria's most historic and celebrated founding estates.\u003cbr\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e$42\u003c\/strong\u003e, it delivers triple 95-point critical acclaim and a Shiraz experience that rivals the finest cool-climate expressions from the Northern Rhône.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA must-have for lovers of elegant, food-friendly cool-climate Shiraz and great-value Geelong wine.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bannockburn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51152243654958,"sku":"LV-BANNOCKBURN-SHIRAZ-2023-750ML","price":42.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/5010\/5134\/files\/2022BannockburnShiraz.png?v=1760668671","url":"https:\/\/liquidvibe.com.au\/products\/2023-bannockburn-shiraz","provider":"liquidvibe.com.au","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
