Felton Road Block 5 Pinot Noir 2019

Felton Road's Block 5 Pinot Noir is one of New Zealand's most iconic wines and considered by many to be the benchmark, thanks to organic viticultural and vineyards farmed along biodynamic guidelines as well as a gravity fed winery and high attention to detail by long term winemaker Blair Walter.

This wine is elegant but powerful and drink well in its youth but comes into its own after five years.

About Felton Road

Felton Road winemaker Blair Walter and owner Nigel Greening (who bought the winery in 2000) are a formidable team producing elegant, powerful southern Pinots from their estate vineyards, all now organically and biodynamically certified.

They specialise in producing limited bottlings from their different vineyard blocks and sites in Bannockburn, Central Otago. Block 3 Pinot Noir is one of these and is one of the most age worthy, with the ability to drink well in its youth but evolve superlatively for up to (potentially beyond) a decade.
