Please note: maximum order of 1 magnum per customer

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.

“Sophisticated and pure aromas of wild raspberries, fresh  strawberries, potpourri and blood oranges. The palate is medium-bodied with seamless tannins and fine acidity, giving note of dark cherries, wet bark and graphite. Tightly wound and focused.” 97pts James Suckling

“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.” Blair Walter, winemaker
