Description

The 2022 Block 6 Chardonnay is powerful and throaty—all back palate and weighty with ripe yellow stone fruit. This is a spicy, full wine with layers of juicy acidity and fleshy fruit. The mineral detail through the finish balances the pure fruit core. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. 93 pointsErin Larkin, Wine Advocate, December 2023

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.
