Block 5 is a small plot of Felton Road’s finest and oldest Pinot Noir vines planted in 1993- 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.
“In its youthful stage, the nose is bursting with aromas of black cherry, florals and spicy leather notes. Expect this to evolve and develop complexity in the usual Block 5 manner with time in bottle. The 2021 Pinot Noirs delight in their finesse and poise: not heavy or cloying like some other vintages, and as we have seen before, the Block 5 naturally luxuriates in these finer and elegant years. The detail and depth are palpable; the finish is refined and sustained; its unmistakably Block 5.” Blair Walter, winemaker
“The brightness and clarity of fruit is something else with hibiscus, ripe strawberries, raspberries, and slate follow through to a full body, with a tight and structured intensity at the finish. Solid tannins give it a tightness at the end. Needs four or five years to open.” 97pts James Suckling
