{"product_id":"felton-road-block-2-chardonnay-central-otago-2023","title":"Felton Road Block 2 Chardonnay Central Otago 2023","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA single-vineyard Chardonnay from one of Central Otago's most revered estates, sourced from an east-facing, cool-site slope planted in 1992 on schist soils, where big stones store the day's warmth and release it slowly through the cool Bannockburn nights. Whole-bunch pressed, fermented in French oak (just 4% new) and aged 17 months in barrel, the wine is made from biodynamically grown grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA flinty, mineral-edged nose leads with clean white and yellow stone fruit, ripe lemon, poached pear and citrus blossom, lifted by subtle toasted-nut and vanilla-biscuit notes. The palate is expressive yet pure, with a lovely softness and texture from bready, leesy tones, all held in check by crushed-stone minerality and a fleshy, mouth-watering acidity. There is real tension here, tightly wound and structured, finishing long and savoury with layers of almond pastry lingering alongside nectarine and pear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGenerous and open-knit now, but with the structure to reward cellaring; it should drink beautifully over the next eight years or more. A serious, food-friendly white with the purity and definition that have made Felton Road's Chardonnays so sought-after.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"James Nicholson Wine Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57149752672634,"sku":"18668","price":46.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0516\/7146\/6141\/files\/Felton-Road-Block-2-Chardonnay.png?v=1786034323","url":"https:\/\/highburyvintners.co.uk\/products\/felton-road-block-2-chardonnay-central-otago-2023","provider":"Highbury Vintners","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
