Felton Road Pinot Noir - Bannockburn, Central Otago, New Zealand

 

Producer's Notes:

A delicious wine with purity of fruit, the signature of site and vintage are clear with a bouquet of freshness, power and varietal prowess. Dark cherry and savoury dried herbs, hat and sandy clay soil complexities, violet and wild forest flowers the spice. Dry, complex and textured with a gentle tautness with an abundance of polished tannins and backbone of acidity. Flavours of dried raspberry, dark berries, plum and dark cherry are released throughout the palate and as the wine opens out in glass delivers energy, purity and freshness.

What We Say:

A benchmark, fine Pinot Noir from Central Otago, grown in the dramatic landscape of Bannockburn, where cool nights and a relatively dry climate help preserve freshness and aromatic precision, this acclaimed red combines vibrant fruit with floral complexity, savoury depth, and refined tannins. Hints of sandalwood, baking spice, forest floor, and fresh herbs add savoury dimension to aromas of dark cherry, ripe raspberry, and wild strawberry. On the palate, fresh acidity brings out definition and energy, while finely integrated tannins provide structure without overwhelming the fruit.
