THE REAL REVIEW - NZ WINERY OF THE YEAR 2024 & 2025

Aromas of ripe strawberries, plums and granite with a mineral undertone. It’s tannic with chewy tannins and a crushed character. Smoky, too. From organically grown grapes.  Needs a few more years of bottle age to soften, but it’s already impressive. 98PTS James Suckling

Ranked: #1 of 65 2024 Pinot Noir from Central Otago

Very complex with measured layers of perfume unfurling from the glass. Raspberry, cherry and bramble rose weave through subtle notes of baking spice and dried thyme, sweet herbs and a hint of smoke. Earthier and more savoury tones join the fruit on the palate as the wine gently expands outwards, backed by sweet fruit and finely submerged yet structural tannins. Everything is kept balanced and lively with bright acidity running under it all. The palate tapers right at the very back after a long complex finish, suggesting that this is perhaps another couple of years away from being ready to drink, but it clearly has masses of concentration and power within its lithe, elegant frame and should age effortlessly over the long-term. 97PTS Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review

Felton Road

Felton Road wines is located in Bannockburn, Central Otago in New Zealand, the most southerly wine growing region in the World. Here, vineyards are nestled into small macroclimates totally surrounded by high mountains, many of which are snowcapped all year round. Though the location is on the edge of sustainable viticulture these macroclimates consistently combine hot days, cool nights and long dry autumns. The latitude of 45 degrees south is similar to the Willamette Valley in Oregon and some of the finest wine regions of France. "Felton Road's Pinot Noirs are breakthrough efforts in New Zealand and compete with the finest wines being made in California, Oregon and Burgundy's Cote D'Or. The Wine Advocate; Robert Parker
