Felton Road - Over Two Decades of Excellence

by Hugh French | Jul 31, 2024

 

 

"I almost feel like Felton Road should need no introduction by now. If two decades of excellence isn't enough to convince you to try these wines, what more can I say?"
Joe Czerwinski, The Wine Advocate

 

Felton Road

Felton Road is often regarded as Central Otago's leading winery. This esteemed winery is renowned for its exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, which are carefully crafted from its breathtaking vineyards. The winery is committed to a minimalist approach, where all fermentation occurs naturally with wild yeasts and oak is applied judiciously. These wines are celebrated for their profound character and remarkable depth and are highly sought-after. As the release is always eagerly anticipated, these exceptional wines tend to sell out rapidly. Don't miss out!

2023 Bannockburn Pinot Noir

Usually $84

Special Offer $79

 

"The nose starts with typical Felton Road cues: dark roses and violets, ethereal, dancing and transparent. On the palate the first note is savoury: lovely fruits are there, but not even a ghost of New World sweetness. The tannins are firm enough to denote seriousness, but without harshness. Attractive and subtle herbal tones also play a part adding freshness and intrigue. A classic rendition from our four Bannockburn vineyards."

2023 Cornish Point Pinot Noir

Usually $109

Special Offer $99

 

"The vivacious fruit and spices are present as always, but are perhaps lighter in tone and more exotic. The palate has a savoury tone, which sits surprisingly well with the usual Cornish Point indulgences: luxurious fruit and exotic woods like Sandalwood, even Lebanon Cedar. The tannins are beautifully balanced and integrated, ever present, but never interfering; just contributing to the overall stature."

2023 MacMuir Pinot Noir

Usually $125

Special Offer $115

 

"A distinctive nose that is deeply fruited, very integrated and with its own distinctive story - characteristic of the first few bottlings from MacMuir. The palate also comes over as typically bold: deep, distinguished, but urging that it wants to be put away for a while. The heavy soils of MacMuir contribute to the alluring texture and depth of tannins – completely countering its younger vine origins. A new level of maturity from this vineyard, signalling what is to come in future vintages."

2023 Block 3 Pinot Noir

Extremely Limited $179

 

"At this youthful stage, it’s tight, somewhat closed and dark - this dark inky note could be the smell of old vines? The palate definitely follows through, with deep, rich mocha infused tannins and the trademark length. It rides on top of that wave of indulgent phenolics, the pure dark berry freshness of Block 3 dances precariously, like a surfer clinging on before being inevitably overwhelmed. As this vineyard matures, it learns not to shout, but that does nothing to steal from its authority."
