Felton Road Block 2 Chardonnay Magnum 1.5L 2021 is a premium wine from Felton Road, a renowned winery located in Bannockburn, Central Otago in New Zealand. This region is known for its extreme climate conditions, where vineyards are nestled into small macroclimates surrounded by high mountains that remain snowcapped throughout the year. Despite this, the unique combination of hot days, cool nights, and long dry autumns in these microclimates allows the grapes to develop complex flavours and aromas, resulting in exceptional wines.
The Felton Road Block 2 Chardonnay Magnum 1.5L 2021 comes in a magnum bottle size of 1.5 litres, which is twice the size of a standard wine bottle. This bottle size not only adds an element of sophistication to any occasion but also offers practical benefits. The larger size allows the wine to age more gracefully as it has a lower ratio of air to wine, which helps to preserve its delicate flavours and aromas. Additionally, magnum bottles are often associated with celebratory events and can serve as a stunning centrepiece on a table.
Felton Road is known for producing premium wines that can compete with the finest wines from California, Oregon, and Burgundy's Cote d'Or. The Felton Road Block 2 Chardonnay Magnum 1.5L 2021 is no exception, and it offers an intense and complex palate with a long finish. The wine exhibits a fine balance of minerality, fruit, and acidity, making it an ideal pairing for seafood, poultry, and creamy sauces.
