2023 Felton Road Calvert Pinot Noir 1.5L Magnum

Felton Road farms four properties totalling 34 ha in the Bannockburn subregion of Central Otago. Calvert Vineyard is located on Felton Road and is just 1km east of The Elms Vineyard and the winery. The soils at Calvert are deep heavy silts with a thin layer of loess topsoil. Meticulous summer management of a single vertical shoot positioned (VSP) canopy ensures even and early fruit maturity. The Felton Road Calvert Pinot Noir 2023 is a wine that embodies the elegance and complexity that Central Otago is known for. Sourced from the Calvert Vineyard, just 1km east of The Elms Vineyard and the winery, this wine reflects the unique terroir of the Bannockburn subregion. The vineyard’s deep silty soils with a thin layer of loess topsoil, combined with the meticulous vineyard practices, create an environment that produces Pinot Noir with finesse and mineral precision. The 2023 vintage showcases the Calvert Vineyard’s signature balance of elegance and structure, with floral notes of rose petal and violets, complemented by subtle hints of cola, cardamom, and polished leather. A core of sweet red cherry provides the foundation for the wine, while the mineral-laden fine tannins take centre stage, leading to a sustained, memorable finish. The wine is a pure expression of its terroir, where vibrancy and mineral complexity shine.  Maker: Felton Road  Varietal: Pinot Noir Country: New Zealand Region: Central Otago Vintage: 2023 ABV: 13.5% Bottle size: 750ml Drinking Window: 2026-2036 Certified Organic Certified Biodynamic
