Our Review
It is undeniable that Felton Road is one of the finest New World producers of pinot noir and a benchmark for those seeking the best that New Zealand wines have to offer. Founder Nigel Greening and winemaker Blair Walter have built the world famous wine brand around fastidious site selection and viticulture (Demeter and Biogro certified biodynamic) and a range of wines that are not only beautifully crafted and compete effortlessly on the world stage, but speak so clearly of the intricacies of their Central Otago vineyards. The emphasis is on transparency of site and minimal intervention – great farming, gravity flow winery, wild yeasts, wild malo and no fining or filtration. An inspiring producer of the highest calibre. -DAVE BROOKES
