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 perfectly seamless and finely balanced nose, asserting Block 5’s hallmark elegance and
refinement. The palate opens subtly, but expands generously in the manner of the great Pinot Noir
descriptor of peacock’s tail. Encompassing, harmonious with not a single component jostling
for recognition - it’s just mature 30-year-old vines doing their business. The precision of fruit
and flavour, combined with silk laden tannins, bring it all to an immensely satisfying finish.
