{"product_id":"bannockburn-grigsby-chardonnay","title":"Bannockburn ‘Grigsby’ Chardonnay","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNamed in honour of long-time viticultural manager Lucas Grigsby, who has tended Bannockburn’s vineyards for over 35 years, this wine comes from a tiny 0.87-hectare block of close-planted vines grafted over in 2019. Set on rich, dark clay over basalt and limestone, Grigsby stands out for its slinky, textural style, offering elegance and layers while paying tribute to one of the estate’s most influential figures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQuite a lot of colour to this wine and powerful fruit up-front, though the finish is then as restrained as it is long. This is a honed wine if ever there was one. Nougat, grilled peach, steel, mineral, orange rind and lemongrass characters put on a powerful display, lemon blossom notes then rising through the finish. Despite its colour this is a wine with yet plenty up its sleeve. The length of the finish here though puts a significant positive emphasis on the quality on offer. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e95 Points - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Lifted and layered aromas of grapefruit pith, stone fruit, orange rind, white flowers, nutty oak, melon, spice and a touch of nettle. Powerful and mouth-filling, with a lovely core of stone fruit, nuts and creamy oak all at play. There's a plushness of flavour, but the acidity and a lick of phenolics keep it all heading in the right direction. Impressive gear.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 95 points - Aaron Brasher, The Real Review\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cru Bar \u0026 Cellar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45401109168265,"sku":"12322430","price":77.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/8274\/1641\/files\/Grigsby_1.jpg?v=1774760268","url":"https:\/\/crubar.com\/products\/bannockburn-grigsby-chardonnay","provider":"Cru Bar \u0026 Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
