Description

Felton Road Block 3 Pinot Noir from Central Otago is a captivating expression of its Bannockburn origins, combining depth, precision, and finesse. The nose is lifted and complex, with aromas of dark red berries, wildflowers, and a delicate undercurrent of earthiness. On the palate, concentrated black cherry and blackcurrant flavours are layered with nuances of dried herbs, savoury spice, and a subtle wisp of smoky oak. The tannins are silky yet firm, supported by vibrant acidity that lends poise and persistence. While already engaging, this wine promises significant reward for those who wait, with ideal drinking from 2030 to 2040 and beyond.

Felton Road

Considerable research by Stewart Elms in 1991 identified the north facing slopes at the end of Felton Road, Bannockburn as being one of the warmest and most ideal sites in Central Otago for the growing and production of premium wine. The three different soils in the area are free draining with low fertility characteristics, and combined with the unique climate, are ideal for the production of premium quality Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling.

Central Otago

Central Otago, located in New Zealand's South Island, is renowned for its exceptional and distinctive wines. The region's cool climate, marked by cold winters and warm, dry summers, along with its varied soils, creates ideal conditions for viticulture. The area is especially celebrated for its world-class Pinot Noir, known for its deep, vibrant flavours, complex aromas, and elegant structure. It also produces high-quality whites, including Riesling and Chardonnay, which exhibit crisp acidity, rich fruit characteristics, and a mineral edge.
