Built in 1898, Terrazas's winery was built by Sotero Arizu, one of the pioneers in the creation of the wine production market in Argentina. The oldest vineyard Las Compuertas was planted in 1929, designed to produce the ultimate expression of Malbec. Today, Argentina dominates the world in Malbec production and has helped popularize the grape around the world. Surrounded by the high peaks of the Andes, Terrazas's vineyard is located in the heart of Mendoza's Lujan de Cuyo and Uco Valley. With the extremely high altitude, low rainfall and rocky soil, wines made in the region are pushed hard for hydration and nutrients. The results of successful wine in this region develop intensely vivid flavours. The climate also assists in lowering acidity, which assists in the winemakers in producing the purest expression of each wine.

Founded by Steve Planthaber, originally from Adelaide but post school left for the South Island of New Zealand. A move to Marlborough with his partner Kirsty Sutherland cemented his love for all things wine. Hard not to be inspired when meeting the Sutherland’s who were one of the pioneers of viticulture in the region, part of the original success of Cloudy Bay followed by establishing their own estate Dog Point. Steve was keen to find his own path and after 12 years running the production and operations at Cloudy Bay decided to begin his own wine brand, Settlement. Settlement, named after the stunning Amphitheatre single vineyard site in the Omaka Valley, is dedicated entirely to the production of organic, old vine single vineyard expressions of very special sites in Marlborough. Poplars vineyard is further south in the Brancott Valley, just next to the famous Section 94 vineyard. Named after trees surrounding the site the vines were planted in 1992, Mendoza clone (now 28 years old). Alluvium soils over a clay subsoil as opposed to the river rock/silt of the Wairau valley floor. Hand-picked, racked of solids, wild ferment in barrel, then elevage for 12 months, 15% new.

Product Description: From a single block first planted in 1981, this Chardonnay is a clear lens into Bannockburn’s DNA. Sourced from the winery’s driveway vineyard, the fruit ripens early and is harvested in multiple passes to capture both freshness and depth. The final blend is selected from barrels that best reflect the season, resulting in a Chardonnay that sits at the heart of the estate’s style. This 2024 release shows Bannockburn at its most assured — layered with stone fruit, citrus, struck match, and subtle hay-like detail. There’s a gentle pulpy texture that moves seamlessly across the palate, carried by chalky acidity and a bright, focused finish. It is both familiar and new: a wine that feels deeply rooted in its Geelong home yet alive with seasonal nuance. Tasting Notes NOSE – Citrus & stone fruit White peach and citrus with a delicate struck match edge. PALATE – Layered & textural Pulpy stone-fruit flavours with subtle hay and savoury detail.
