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 subregion of Central Otago.
Calvert Vineyard is located on Felton Road and is just 1km east of The Elms Vineyard and the winery.
The soils at Calvert are deep heavy silts with a thin layer of loess topsoil.
Meticulous summer management of a single vertical shoot positioned (VSP) canopy ensures even and early fruit maturity.
Elegant, firmly-structured pinot noir with floral, spice, plum and red cherry flavours.
Youthful and a little closed at this stage but with the potential to develop well with bottle age.
Aerate for best results.
