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," while Jancis Robinson MW hits the superlatives too: "Around the world Felton Road is one of the most admired producers in Central Otago, responsible for really serious examples of ageworthy Pinot Noir." Using grapes from all four of their Bannockburn vineyards – Cornish Point, Calvert, MacMuir and The Elms – this is a beautiful expressive red. Wild yeasts, wild malo, minimal interference, with 13 months ageing in 25% new French oak all add up to a superbly balanced red with layers of fruit and nuanced complexity.
