Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, high acidity, dry
Felton Road's Block 5 is one of Central Otago's most respected single-vineyard Pinot Noirs, drawn from older vines on the Bannockburn estate and showing the site's characteristic concentration and precision. Expect dark cherry and wild berry fruit framed by savory earth, dried herbs, and a spine of bright, cool-climate acidity that gives the wine real energy and length. It is structured and age-worthy by Central Otago standards, with fine tannins that reward a few years of cellaring but are approachable with food on release.
