CARRICK Winery BANNOCKBURN
Carrick is one of Bannockburn's most celebrated wineries, where exceptional wines, certified organic vineyards and breathtaking landscapes come together to create one of Central Otago's most memorable wine destinations. Perched above the shores of Lake Dunstan, Carrick has earned an outstanding reputation for producing elegant, estate grown wines that capture the unique character of one of New Zealand's most acclaimed Pinot Noir regions.
Founded in 1994, Carrick was established with a vision of crafting wines that are a true reflection of Bannockburn's remarkable soils, climate and landscape. Every vine is certified organic and farmed using regenerative principles that work in harmony with nature, encouraging biodiversity and protecting the land for future generations. This commitment to sustainability is reflected throughout every aspect of the vineyard and winery.
Carrick is best known for its award winning Central Otago Pinot Noir, while also producing exceptional Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc. Every wine is made exclusively from estate grown fruit, allowing each bottle to express the distinctive characteristics of Bannockburn's warm, rocky soils and long growing season. Careful vineyard management and thoughtful winemaking ensure purity, balance and a genuine sense of place in every vintage.
Alongside its acclaimed wines, Carrick Restaurant has become a destination in its own right.
