Carrick Cairnmuir Terraces EBM Chardonnay 2023 750ml

A selection of the Winemaker's best barrels

The Carrick EBM Chardonnay takes its name from its Extended Barrel Maturation — an 18-month maturation in French oak that imparts depth, structure, and flavour to the wine. Crafted from a careful selection of the winemaker’s finest barrels, it’s a Chardonnay that speaks of time and texture.

A Chardonnay shaped by time, texture, and the quiet power of Bannockburn, Central Otago, New Zealand.

The EBM 2023 Chardonnay is a single-vineyard, single-clone wine, crafted entirely from Mendoza vines planted on their own roots in 1994. These original, sprawling vines reflect the early viticultural methods at Carrick, promoting excellent airflow and a broad canopy that nurtures small, concentrated clusters of fruit.

Hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed, the wine was wild fermented in barrel and matured on gross lees in French barrique for 17 months before blending and bottling — a process that brings remarkable texture, complexity, and longevity to this expressive Chardonnay.

 

 

The 2023 EBM is powerful and poised, opening with aromas of vanilla, almond, grapefruit and fennel. These notes flow seamlessly onto the palate, wrapping around a bright, driving line of acidity. Layers of baked stonefruit, white blossom, mandarin and lemon peel gather and unfurl, lingering long on the finish. A wine of intensity and structure — one that will reward those willing to cellar it.
