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. Characteristic floral, cherry, & spice aromas abound while delivering an appealing diversity of flavors along with multiple layers & textures. Its deeply textural mouthfeel is both silken & charmingly approachable.
Winemaker / Tasting Notes
An ethereal & delicately scented red with appealing floral notes of violets & red roses on the nose and dark cherry, anise, & subtle smoky oak notes on the palate. Its complexity is rivaled only by its seamlessly smooth texture.
