Felton Road Cornish Point Pinot Noir 2023 is a single-vineyard Pinot Noir from Central Otago’s Cornish Point, known for its mineral spine and precise fruit. The wine delivers bright red fruit, restrained French oak, and smooth, silky tannins, underscored by the rocky terroir of the site. A terroir-driven, balanced expression that can be enjoyed in its youth or cellared for development.
