Carrick
Bannockburn Chardonnay 2022 750ml

Bronze Medal at Aotearoa NZ Organic Wine Awards 2024!

The Carrick Bannockburn Chardonnay makes up part of our estate range, representing the varietal classics or core range. Carrick’s wind-swept site and glacial alluvial soils help to define the acidity of this wine, which balances the citrus and stone fruit characters, as well as giving length and flow. It is made from hand-picked organically grown Chardonnay, from some of the oldest vines on the property.

Released after at least 6 months of bottle age, the Bannockburn Chardonnay is classic, full-bodied white wine with toast, citrus and marmalade notes. Serve slightly chilled and enjoy with pasta, chicken or grain salads.

95 points - outstanding "The effect of site is as distinctive as the vintage of this wine. Aromas and flavours of white and yellow peach, quince and lemon, apple and grapefruit peel. There’s a core of minerality with a clay and stone power, then lees and barrel effect adding complexity and a precise aromatic then flavour story. Fruit and some barrel tannins along with acidity and fruit flavours present a wine of complexity and charm. Lengthy and well made a delicious example, best drinking from 2024 through 2029." Cameron Douglas
