The Story Behind the Bottle
JamesSuckling.com was effusive about Felton Road, "If Central Otago was the Côte de Nuits, then Bannockburn would likely be Vosne-Romanée and I’m going to hang it right out and say that Felton Road would be the top gun, the DRC". Jancis Robinson MW hits the superlatives too: "Around the world Felton Road is one of the most admired producers in Central Otago", known best for its superb Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Bannockburn takes grapes from Cornish Point and The Elms, whole bunch pressed and the gravity-fed juice fermented in barrel, just 10% new. Wild yeast, wild malo, minimal interference, with 11 months on lees and 13 months ageing in barrel all add up to a superbly balanced white with mesmirising complexity. Serve cellar cool.
