2024 Felton Road Dry Riesling
$40.00
(2 In Stock)
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.
A vibrant bouquet of spring flowers, talc and orchard fruits introduces this impressive and
commanding wine. Ripe apple and pear abound on the palate, complimented by pink grapefruit
and mineral notes. For a dry wine, it’s surprisingly luscious: such is the power of the
fruit supporting this crisp and vineyard expressive Riesling. Mature vines, careful
farming and respectfully guided to the bottle.

Felton Road Riesling - Dry 2024, Central Otago
Aromatic to the point of being pungent, a distinctive bouquet of fresh lemon and apple,
there’s a core of minerality and blossoms with a pure fruited drive and taut complexity.
Absolutely delicious on the palate with fruit flavours reflecting the bouquet, layers of citrus
and some pineapple, white flowers and a very fine leesy layer adding complexity and breadth.
Fantastic acid line, a dry, lengthy and well made wine with best drinking from day of
purchase through I would urge you to wait till 2027 and use that as a starting point through
2040.
