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.
