"An excellent bouquet of power and freshness, variety and expression of place. Mineral and citrus, pear and white peach, dried herbs and stones. A polished satin texture greets the palate first then contrasting acid line carries flavours of citrus and stone fruit, lemon and white peach. The herbaceous and mineral qualities along some wild flower highlights present a wine with energy and distinctiveness. Best drinking from 2023 through 2027+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Oct 2023
The 2022 Carrick Sauvignon Blanc has good depth and weight, a fine acid core and hints of toasty oak. Aromas of gooseberry, green apple and lemon pith can be found. Finishes long and fresh. Cellaring potential 5 years +.
A Central Otago twist on a classic NZ Sauvignon Blanc - hand-picked, wild fermented and matured in barrel. It's subtle and refreshing yet has ample body - a great wine for an aperitif or with the primi platter.
Hand-harvested from the bottom terrace of our home block, the fruit is crushed and pressed, to extract the aromatics from the skin, then wild fermented in a combination of tank and old barriques (35%). Matured for 6 months before bottling.
