Felton Road Bannockburn Pinot Noir 2023

DESCRIPTION:

This 2023 Pinot Noir from Felton Road celebrates the terroir of Bannockburn, Central Otago, blending fruit from four of their estate vineyards: Cornish Point, Calvert, MacMuir, and The Elms. Grown biodynamically and made with minimal intervention, the wine reflects purity and elegance.

On the nose, expect delicate violet and rose petals, with herbal undercurrents. The palate is medium-bodied with juicy red fruit (cherries, raspberry), layered with savory herbs, forest-floor complexity, and firm yet fine-grained tannins. Aged 13 months in 25% new French oak, this wine carries both structure and finesse.
