Description
Beginning with meticulous site selection and vineyard design started in 1991, Felton Road’s story is one of refusal to compromise.
A strict 100% estate policy with fully organic and biodynamic viticulture (Demeter certified) ensures their fruit arrives at the winery as pure as it can be, while their entire estate comes as close to true sustainability as is possible.
Felton Road farms four properties totalling 34 ha in the Bannockburn sub-region of Central Otago.
Block 3 is situated on a gentle north facing slope in the heart of The Elms vineyard where a deep bench of silt soil is interspersed with calcareous seams.
Refined, dense pinot noir with floral, violet, dark cherry and berry, spice and cedar wood flavours that are restrained by plum, ripe tannins.
A very classy Felton Road pinot noir that clearly shows plenty of cellaring potential.
It has a seductively lengthy finish.
