Considered by many as new Zealand's benchmark Pinot Noir, Felton Road are renowned throughout the world for unblemished quality. Their philosophy is driven by sustainability and the wines are produced by way of biodynamic viticultural practices in harmony with their land, the stars and the moon. The winery is three-tier gravity fed to accommodate a 'hands off' approach throughout these crucial stages of production. Minimal human intervention during the winemaking process allows the fruit to better express itself through the unique characteristics of its origins. This extremely rare Single Block 5 Pinot Noir is the the powerhouse of the Felton Road range.
A diverse and complex nose dominated by polished leather and dark rose. The power on the palate is seamlessly integrated with the refined fruit and transparent winemaking. The absence of intervention is pleasingly obvious as it’s the noble site that trumps all else for a focussed and elegant mouthfeel. The finish is peppered with powdery tannins defining the structure. Sure to be one of the greats.
