Description

Felton Road wines are located in Bannockburn, Central Otago in New Zealand, the most southerly wine-growing region in the World. Here, vineyards are nestled into small macroclimates totally surrounded by high mountains, many of which are snowcapped all year round. Though the location is on the edge of sustainable viticulture these macroclimates consistently combine hot days, cool nights, and long dry autumns. The latitude of 45 degrees south is similar to the Willamette Valley in Oregon and some of the finest wine regions of France. "Both of Felton Road's Pinot Noirs are breakthrough efforts in New Zealand and compete with the finest wines being made in California, Oregon, and Burgundy's Cote d'Or. The Wine Advocate; Robert Parker.

This bottle is the standard 750ml. If you are looking for the Magnum 1.5L bottle, you can find it here.

Review

Rich peach and lemon-curd aromas here, with a strong fruit focus, some oak spice, and light nougat notes. The palate has a composed, softly fleshy, and gently creamy feel with banana and vanilla-laced pear flavours. Super composed. Drink now.

Tasting Profile
nose

An enticing bouquet of white blossom and crushed stones.

palate

Respectful winemaking (with a pleasing absence of new oak) allows the subtle fruit characters to interweave with the intriguing saline and mineral notes on the palate. Our usual bright acidity furnishes focus and length, and harmoniously integrates the broad mid-palate in this complex and very fine rendition.
