Carrick, a name associated with the Bannockburn region is represented on the label by the Carrick Bend knot. The knot also depicts the bringing together of the Central Otago 'terroir' and Carrick's careful viticultural and winemaking practices. The Carrick winery looks directly out to the rugged Carrick mountain range in the west, a stunning place to taste wine and share a platter with friends over a glass of Carrick wine. The Vineyards The vineyards are all located in Bannockburn, on the Cairnmuir Terraces. Cairnmuir was planted in 1994, in Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Gris. It lies on a promontory, bounded by Lake Dunstan to the north and west, and the Bannockburn Inlet to the south. The vineyard is a mixture of gravels and sand, glistening with silica. The Cairnmuir block was extended in 1998, with a further planting devoted to Pinot Noir. New Dijon Clones were planted and the vineyard now contains a range of clones- Pommard (UCD 5), 10/5, 13, 113, 114, 115 and 777. The Arthur vineyard, owned by Bill and Sue Arthur, is located across Cairnmuir Rd, on the sloping foothills of the Cairnmuir Range. Planted in 1996. The vineyard is dedicated to Pinot Noir and Riesling. A third vineyard is planned for Hall Rd adjacent to the Bannockburn township. |
