Description

Unravelled is Carrick’s most easy-going Pinot – the softest, lightest and earliest-drinking wine in their range. The name nods to the Carrick logo, a sailor’s knot, and reflects a loosening of the ties – a relaxed, open expression of Bannockburn Pinot made for everyday drinking.

The 2022 vintage was hand-picked from nine different parcels across Carrick’s organic vineyards on the Cairnmuir Terraces. Each ferment ran with indigenous yeast, and about 29% of the blend went through whole-bunch fermentation for a touch of spice and texture. The wine then spent eight months in seasoned French oak before blending and bottling in early 2023.

The result is soft and bright, with fresh red fruit and fine, supple tannins. It’s balanced, fruit-forward, easy to enjoy, and just really top value.

The Unravelled Pinot Noir is Carrick’s earliest-drinking, softest, and lightest expression of Pinot — an easy, approachable wine perfect for everyday enjoyment. Its name plays on the Carrick logo, a sailing knot, symbolising a loosening of ties — relaxed, unbound, and effortless.
