Description

The Bannockburn Pinot Noir is the wine around which the entire Carrick project is built. Twenty-eight-year-old vines across the Cairnmuir Terraces and Arthur's Vineyard, a mix of clones 10/5, 5 and 13, produce small yields of intensely concentrated fruit that winemaker Rosie Menzies works with a light hand.

Certified organic under BioGro since 2008, the estate operates without herbicides, synthetic pesticides or fertilisers. No fining agents are used, and filtration is kept to a minimum. Rosie describes the wine as vibrant, elegant and balanced, built on fine tannin and with the structural precision to age gracefully over the coming decade.

Tasting Notes

Vintage: 2022

Colour: Medium ruby with a clear, vibrant hue and youthful rim.

Nose: Vibrant and expressive with notes of cherry, cranberry, reductant, fresh thyme and tea leaf. Subtle earthy undertones and fine oak spice support the fruit without dominating.

Palate: Long and complex, framed by fine, silky tannin. The palate reflects the nose with bright red cherry, cranberry and spice, underpinned by cool-climate acidity and a savoury mineral thread. Elegant and restrained, with excellent length and finesse.
