Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: medium-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, dry
Felton Road's Block 6 is a single-vineyard Chardonnay from Bannockburn in Central Otago, crafted with a Burgundian sensibility — restrained oak, wild-yeast fermentation, and a focus on terroir expression. Expect a tightly wound, flinty minerality underpinned by bright citrus and stone fruit, with a creamy texture that never overwhelms the wine's natural acidity. It's a serious, age-worthy Chardonnay that sits closer to Chablis than to a rich New World style.
