Congratulations to Carrick in having the confidence and craft to produce such a wine. No preservatives added.

A very well put together modern expression.

"Because we believe in expressing our unique site from which our wines are born, the ultimate test for a winemaker is to make wines without any cosmetic refinery, i.e. no fining, no filtration, no preservative. Just grapes. For us it also means that only organically certified grapes are used in the making of the wine, it is bottled without filtration and nothing is added or taken away from the wine during its creation."

"Intense core of purple and ruby with a definitively pink rim. Aromas of plums and dark raspberry, black currant then spices of earth and barrel. There are some floral moments with a dark velvet rose idea. On the palate a taut and poised texture led by fine dusty tannins and a backbone of acidity framing the dark berry flavours that mirror the bouquet. Complex, youthful, dry and lengthy. A very well made wine with freshness and poise, youth and promise. Best drinking from 2027 through 2033+." Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, June 2025 (2024 Vintage)

"Deep violet. Compact, glossy and dense with flavours of blackberry, cherry and root spice, this is held in a firm structure of charcoal tannins. Unyielding and extremely young, the palate is very primary and presently quite chewy. Submerged under this structure is a vibrant core of purple fruit and spice. Give it a year to meld in bottle and watch it slowly shed its brooding shell over the mid-term." 92/100 Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review, August 2025 (2024 Vintage)
