Why We Love This Wine
Felton Road is one of the legendary names in New Zealand Wine and the most famous in the Central Otago region, making some highly regarded Pinot Noirs under the auspices of Chief Winemaker Blair Walter since 1997. Now counting 14.6 hectares of vines, the entire estate is run biodynamically & certified organic. The heart of the range consists of 5 world-class Pinot Noirs in addition to 3 superb Rieslings and a couple of solid Chardonnays. Floral & delightfully perfumed aromas lead to a palate of sweet fruit exposing layers of dark cherry, spice, & complex earthy notes. Its open fruity appeal is ably tempered by its structural & mineral tannins.
Winemaker / Tasting Notes
Delightfully perfumed dark cherry, spice, & complex earthy notes on the nose with briary notes of red raspberries & resinous herbs on the palate. Contemplative & sincere, this beautiful red boasts terrific length in a mocha tinged finish.
