Carrick Le Pet Nat
Our Le Pét-Nat is part of our Discovery Range and is a celebration of spontaneity — bottled midway through ferment to capture the lively bubbles formed naturally, resulting in a wine that is both playful and pure. The label features ‘Poppy’ by Wānaka-based artist Sierra Roberts, part of her Frida Collection. The artwork, adorned with wild poppies and thyme, celebrates femininity and the fleeting beauty of life — a fitting reflection of the landscape that surrounds Carrick each spring, when colour and vitality return to the Bannockburn hills.
Winemaking Unfined, unfiltered, and full of life — the 2025 is a blend of 2/3 Pinot Noir and 1/3 Riesling from our home block. Fermented partially in tank and then finished in bottle to capture the natural effervescence created during ferment. Disgorged to remove sediment formed during this secondary ferment in bottle.
Tasting Note “Peach-hued with a gentle fizz in the glass. Crisp and semi-sparkling, revealing notes of strawberry, lemon and white nectarine. Bright, refreshing acidity carries through the palate, layered with subtle bready complexity and a saline minerality at the core.” - Winemaker Rosie Menzies
