The new kid on the block is a 100% Shiraz rosé made with fruit grown on the Bannockburn winery block (planted in 1990 and expanded in 1996). The soils here are dense clay over limestone and, as is now the norm at Bannockburn, the vineyard is farmed with organic principles.
With freshness in mind, Holmes vinified with wine entirely in inox vessels. Perfectly ripe, whole Shiraz bunches were delicately basket-pressed before being racked to tank for fermentation. The wine then rested on lees in tank before being bottled in July. Et voilà!
