Carrick Wines

Pioneers of Organic & Sustainable Winemaking in Bannockburn, Central Otago

Founded in 1994 by Barbara and Steve Green, Carrick Wines began as a bold vision on a rabbit-infested block in Bannockburn, Central Otago. Through decades of dedication, they transformed the land into a sustainable vineyard, embracing organic practices and achieving full organic certification in 2011.

Today, Alison and Tony Cleland proudly steward Carrick, continuing its legacy of handcrafted, terroir-driven wines. Since joining in 2018, winemaker Rosie Menzies has elevated the estate’s reputation, playing a key role in securing Bannockburn’s Geographical Indication (GI) status in 2022—a testament to the region’s unique viticultural identity.

Why Carrick Wines Stand Out?

Certified Organic – Committed to sustainable, chemical-free viticulture since 2008
Bannockburn Terroir – Expressive, mineral-driven wines from Central Otago’s premier sub-region
Female Winemaking Leadership – Rosie Menzies crafts elegant, balanced wines with a sense of place
