Embarking on a journey marked by meticulous site selection and visionary vineyard design since 1991, Felton Road's narrative stands firm in its unwavering commitment to excellence. Enforcing a resolute 100% estate policy, coupled with fully certified organic and biodynamic viticulture (BioGro and Demeter), ensures the arrival of our fruit at the winery in its purest form. Our entire estate, driven by an unyielding dedication, achieves a remarkable proximity to true sustainability.

Our approach embraces hands-off winemaking techniques—utilizing gravity flow, harnessing the power of indigenous yeasts, facilitating malolactic fermentation, and deliberately sidestepping fining and filtration processes. These practices collectively serve as guardians, preserving the authentic expression of our terroir. The culmination of our efforts manifests in our Riesling, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir varieties, each eloquently articulating the genuine authenticity and intricate complexity inherent to our unique vineyards.
