Description
Felton Road "Block 5" Pinot Noir, Central Otago, New Zealand, 2023
Grape: 100% Pinot Noir from a single block in the heart of The Elms vineyard, organic/biodynamic, 30+ year old vines, hand picked, destemmed bunches with 20% retained as whole clusters, fermentation with indigenous yeasts, 16 months in barrel (29% new French oak), bottled without fining or filtration.
Winemaker's Tasting Note:
A perfectly seamless and finely balanced nose, asserting Block 5’s hallmark elegance and refinement. The palate opens subtly, but expands generously in the manner of the great Pinot Noir descriptor of peacock’s tail. Encompassing, harmonious with not a single component jostling for recognition - it’s just mature 30-year-old vines doing their business. The precision of fruit and flavour, combined with silk laden tannins, bring it all to an immensely satisfying finish.
Try this Pinot Noir with a "Jamon de Pato" (dried duck breast, made in the same way as Iberian ham) with a pear & pecorino cheese sauce.
