Felton Road Block 5 Pinot Noir Central Otago – 2019

Block 5 is a small plot of Felton Road’s finest and oldest Pinot Noir vines – their “Grand Cru” if this were Burgundy.

Please note: we receive very small allocations of this wine, so orders need to be linked with other Felton Road wines.

“Aromatically very expressive, complete and alluring: florals, black cherry, spice and undergrowth are all present. The palate is so harmonised and integrated that it’s difficult to discern individual characters – a hallmark of a real classic. Finely woven tannins build and coat the mouth for a masterclass in texture. Vibrant fruit and acidity allow the finish to crescendo and take an eternity to gracefully fade. ” Blair Walter, winemaker

“Very fragrant nose here with deeply woven complexity. Earthy nuances, bracken, leaves and spiced red cherries abound with roses and violets, as well as blueberries. The palate has long tannins that extrude deep along a central spine. Lots of blueberry and red-cherry flavors. The contained, fleshy feel of the palate is really something and this always powerful wine is in such, supple and fluid form.” 98/100pts James Suckling
