Felton Road Calvert Pinot Noir Central Otago – 2024

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.

“The purity and integrity of the fruit on the nose is impressive, with ripe strawberries, orange peel and hints of white pepper and dried herbs. It’s medium-bodied with crunchy fruit, lovely fruit tannins and a vivid finish. A mix of Dijon clones. From biodynamically grown grapes.” James Suckling – 97/100 points

“Fantastic bouquet with scents and flavours of sand and clay, spice and dark berry fruits. Dried raspberry and boysenberry, layers with smoky wood and clove, plum and violets. There’s a wild dried herb quality and as the wine opens out the intensity and complexity of each flavours grows. A dry wine with firm tannins, lots of polish and energy, acidity carries all the flavours keep the palate engaged throughout. Lengthy and complex a wine to savour when young and older. Best drinking from as early as today through 2038+” Cameron Douglas MS – 96/100 points – Outstanding.
