Felton Road Calvert Pinot Noir Central Otago – 2019

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.  Calvert is a single vineyard of “1er Cru” quality if this were Burgundy.

“The characteristic aromatic florality is finely supported by mineral and spice notes on the nose. It’s seamlessly followed
by a detailed palate that emphasises precision and elegance. The tannins are evident, but intricately refined and polished. The ethereal mouthfeel echos the aromatic florality with a finesse that we have come to know as unreservedly Calvert. ” Blair Walter; winemaker

“A very vibrant and ripe Calvert with attractively spicy oak integration, as well as
abundant red and dark cherries. Super fragrant. The palate is so silky and plush,
packed with concentrated, fresh red-cherry flavor. Blueberry finish.” 96/100pts James Suckling
