Carrick Bannockburn Chardonnay 2018 (6 Bottles) Central Otago, New Zealand

Carrick Bannockburn Chardonnay 2018 expertly made by Carrick’s estate team in Bannockburn, Central Otago, New Zealand. Hand-picked from some of the oldest organic Chardonnay vines (Mendoza and Clone 6), the wine was fermented wild and matured 12 months in French oak barriques (13% new), then rested a further nine months in vat before release. In the glass, it offers toasted brioche, citrus peel and marmalade aromas framed by weight and balance.
