The 2025 Bannockburn 1314 Rosé is a vibrant and refined cool-climate rosé from one of Geelong’s most respected producers. Sourced from the 1314 vineyard, this wine reflects Bannockburn’s site-driven philosophy, delivering a rosé that balances freshness, texture and subtle complexity. The nose is lifted and aromatic, showing bright red berries such as strawberry, raspberry and cranberry, alongside delicate floral notes and a hint of citrus zest. There is a subtle savoury edge, with gentle spice and mineral nuances adding depth and intrigue.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with crisp, refreshing acidity and a finely textured mouthfeel. The red fruit profile is pure and vibrant, complemented by citrus and a faintly savoury character. The wine shows excellent balance and precision, finishing clean, dry and persistent with a refreshing, mineral-driven edge.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout cool-climate rosé, offering more structure and complexity than many lighter, purely fruit-driven styles. Compared to simple rosé, it shows greater depth and finesse, making it both refreshing and food-friendly. Best enjoyed chilled, drink now through 2028+ for its freshness and vibrancy. Perfect with seafood, salads, charcuterie or light Mediterranean-style dishes.
