2022 Carrick Billet-Doux Pinot Noir

94 Points Bob Campbell MW
In stock
A lovely wine from an organic Central Otago producer, Carrick. The estate's longstanding ethos of organic viticulture and winemaking has allowed them to strike out with a beautiful label or two of natural wine. Made without sulfites or additives by strictly non-intervention methods, this wine offers a sort of sophisticated simplicity in which the bright juicy fruit doesn't feel too crafted, retaining a nice directness within its flow of linear acidity and fine tannins. Not rustic but a celebration of the natural elements in wine, Carrick's love letter ('Billet-Doux') is an adventurous and charming wine experience. No sulfites added.

Its Origins

Carrick is an integrated organic vineyard, winery, restaurant and cellar door in Bannockburn Central Otago. Known for their quality premium Pinot Noir, Carrick also grows and makes Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc; wines noted for their fruit expression and clarity. Steve Green, the owner-manager of Carrick, the viticulturist, the winemaker and the chef brings understanding and experience to making fine wine and food. This pride is reflected in the care of the vineyard and environment – Carrick has a flock of free range hens, giant compost heaps and a community garden, all part of the Carrick philosophy.

"Very expressive wine with a deliciously smooth texture and flavours suggesting ripe Black Doris plum and black cherry together with a subtle savoury/earthy note that I find quite appealing. (No fining, filtration or additions) 23 JUN 2023." Drink 2023 - 2025
