{"product_id":"2023-bannockburn-shiraz1500ml","title":"2023 Bannockburn Shiraz Magnum (1500ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 Bannockburn Shiraz (1500ml) is a refined, cool-climate expression from one of Geelong’s most respected producers. Known for its focus on site-driven wines, Bannockburn delivers a Shiraz that prioritizes elegance, structure and aromatic complexity over richness and weight. The 2023 vintage shows freshness and vibrancy, reflecting the region’s maritime influence and careful vineyard management. The nose is lifted and expressive, offering aromas of red and dark berries, including cherry, raspberry and plum. These are complemented by notes of cracked black pepper, dried herbs and subtle floral hints. A savoury layer of olive, spice and light oak adds further nuance and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine, chalky tannins and bright acidity that gives the wine energy and precision. The fruit profile leans slightly toward red fruits, supported by spice, earth and mineral undertones. The structure is linear and focused, leading to a long, savoury finish that emphasizes balance and finesse — a signature of cool-climate Shiraz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBen’s Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent example of modern, elegant Australian Shiraz, reminiscent of Northern Rhône Syrah in its restraint and spice-driven profile. Compared to fuller-bodied styles, it offers more freshness and definition, making it highly food-friendly. The magnum format (1500ml) is perfect for cellaring and special occasions, with the larger bottle promoting slower maturation and added complexity. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar through 2036+. Ideal with lamb, duck, grilled meats or earthy dishes like mushroom risotto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eInfo\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"846\" style=\"height: 152px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCOUNTRY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAustralia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePRODUCER\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBannockburn\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eVARIETY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShiraz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSTYLE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed Wine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eVINTAGE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2023\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSIZE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1500ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bannockburn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51214587101499,"sku":"25689-1500","price":88.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6779\/7699\/files\/2023BannockburnShiraz_1500ml.png?v=1777874125","url":"https:\/\/winemore.com.au\/products\/2023-bannockburn-shiraz1500ml","provider":"Wine More Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
