About The Wine

Carrick Unravelled Pinot Noir 2022 is the most approachable and early drinking Pinot Noir in the Carrick range, made to highlight freshness, softness and easy drinking charm. Sourced from Bannockburn in Central Otago, it brings together bright red fruit, supple texture and a light, graceful frame that makes it immediately appealing. The 2022 vintage was made from nine parcels, with 29% whole bunch and eight months in seasoned oak, giving the wine extra spice and texture without losing its relaxed, fruit led style. 

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Red cherry, wild berries, dried herbs, rose and gentle spice.

Palate: Soft and bright, with fresh red fruit, raspberry, strawberry and a silky, finely textured feel.

Finish: Supple and balanced, with fine tannins, subtle spice and an easy, moreish close.

Serving Suggestions

A great match for pizza, charcuterie, roast chicken, duck, mushroom dishes or a simple midweek pasta.
