A legendary winery, bought by Englishman Nigel Greening in 2000, Felton Road is one of the world's outstanding producers of Pinot Noir, and a pioneer of biodynamics in New Zealand. The vineyards are situated on warm, north facing slopes of glacial loess soils in Bannockburn, in the heart of Central Otago. The modern gravity fed winery receives 100% estate grown fruit from its three vineyards that are all farmed biodynamically and are fully certified by Demeter. Minimal intervention in the winemaking with such practices as wild yeast, no fining or filtration, allow the unique vineyard characters to further express their considerable personality. Since the first vintage in 1997, Felton Road has acquired a formidable worldwide reputation.
The Cornish Point Pinot Noir 2021 has a complex and intense palate that displays notes of dark cherry, cassis, oriental spices and a whisper of nutty oak. A tangy undercurrent of ripe acidity helps drive a very lengthy finish revealing a wine with real power. Delicious now but will develop well with bottle age.
