0.75L
Intensity
A single-plot cuvée of Pinot Noir, both structured, supple and elegant. A great New-Zealand Pinot Noir with marvellous aromas of dark cherry and violet.
More infoThe vines which gave the grapes for this wine were planted in 2001 on silt-clay soils. This cuvée has a pronounced spiciness, with notes of red fruits (cherry and blackberry) which, after being aired, open up into a more floral register. This structured and supple Pinot noir’s finish is long and silky. It will be superb with white meats.

About the Producer Felton Road
France is not the only country where a love of the terroir encourages winegrowers to adopt biodynamic practices, as has been demonstrated by the Felton Road domaine in Central Otago New Zealand since 2002. For twenty years, Nigel Greening's vineyard, which is split between four outstanding parcels, has been producing authentic, delicate wines while respecting the soil and vines. These wines set a benchmark, as is demonstrated by their 13th position in the Drinks International magazine rankings.
