Carrick
Cairnmuir Terraces EBM Chardonnay 2021 750ml
A selection of the Winemaker's best barrels
The Carrick EBM Chardonnay is so named for its ‘Extended Barrel Maturation’, which imparts further character, structure and flavor to this wine. Released after at least 1 year of bottle age, it is complex, with an earthy, savoury tone.
Generous, intense and age-worthy, the EBM is well-suited for 10 years of cellaring. Pair with roasted white meats, buttery fish, or green vegetables.
The EBM Chardonnay 2021 is a blend of 3 different vineyard parcels, comprising 3 different clones, predominantly Mendoza with a small portion of Clone 6 and 548. Matured in barrique on gross lie for 18 months, before blending, stabilisation and bottling. Hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed and wild fermented.
95 points - Outstanding
Fantastic bouquet with layers of complexity and intrigue, attention to detail and natural qualities with layers of mineral, spice and a light flinty seam. Peaches and quince, baked apples and pears, blossoms and barrel spices. Equally outstanding on the palate with with a satin-cream touch, power and intensity of fruits and mineral, flint and spice. As the wine opens out in glass the complexity and sense of site and style blossoms, the mouthfeel also showcases some very fine tannins and excellent acid line. Best drinking from 2025 through 2032+.
