About this wine
Felton Road - Block 5 - Pinot Noir
Felton Road's Block 5 Pinot Noir is a wine that truly captures the essence of Central Otago. With its deep ruby colour and complex aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, and spice, this wine is a true delight for the senses. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long, lingering finish.
The Block 5 vineyard is located in the heart of Bannockburn, one of the most prestigious wine-growing regions in New Zealand. The vineyard is planted on a north-facing slope, which provides optimal sun exposure and allows the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly. The soil is a mix of schist and clay, which gives the wine its distinctive minerality and complexity.
Felton Road is a family-owned winery that has been producing exceptional wines since 1991. The winery is committed to sustainable and organic farming practices, which ensures that the grapes are of the highest quality. The winemaking process is a combination of traditional and modern techniques, which allows the wine to express its unique terroir.
This wine is perfect for pairing with rich, flavourful dishes such as roasted lamb or duck. It also pairs well with strong cheeses such as blue cheese or aged cheddar. Enjoy it with friends and family on a special occasion or simply savour it on its own.
