Felton Road Block 3 Pinot Noir Central Otago – 2022

Felton Road is one of the world’s most southerly wine producers, located in the Central Otago region of New Zealand’s south island. The winery was founded in 1991 and has been certified  biodynamic since 2002.

Block 3 is one of Felton Road’s two “grand crus”, consistently producing some of the winery’s best quality Pinot Noirs each vintage.

“The complete epitome of this iconic wine. Dark fruits, crushed herbs, silky but palpable texture, weightless power, chocolate tannins with wafts of smoky mocha, followed by the length that
defines its reputation. When a wine is this true to its hallmarks, one is left with very little to say.” Blair Walter, winemaker

“Concentrated, powerful pinot noir with a medley of dark, strong cherry/berry fruits that almost mask a subtler suggestion of floral and fresh herb characters. A moderately assertive backbone of fine, peppery oak and fruit tannins suggests good cellaring potential although the wine is certainly accessible now.” 97/100pts Bob Campbell MW, the Real Review
