Felton Road Bannockburn Riesling – 2021

Felton Road is one of the world’s most southerly 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.

Near 30-year-old vines offer layers of aromas making it difficult to discern individual components: it’s just un-mistakably Felton Road! Schist, respectful farming and wild, indigenous yeast all contribute to this highly individual and identifiable style. A burst of sweetness in the middle is reminiscent of a perfectly tree- ripened peach, concluding with a flavour laden crisp finish that never seems to end. This wine is medium dry with 64g/l residual sugar and 9.5% alcohol.

“Taut yet luscious riesling, with moderate sweetness balanced by juicy acidity to give the wine a delicious tension. Wonderfully pure with a mix of citrus and stone fruit flavours and a hint of mango.” 96pts Bob Campbell MW

“Fester aber üppiger Riesling mit moderater Süsse, ausgeglichen durch saftige Säure, um dem Wein eine köstliche Spannung zu verleihen. Wunderbar rein mit einem Mix aus Zitrus- und Steinobstaromen und einem Hauch Mango.” 96 Punkte Bob Campbell MW.
