- TASTING NOTE: "This extraordinary seductive riesling is technically sweet, with 73g/l of residual sugar, but it does in fact taste medium/dry. Sweetness is restrained by fine, fruity acidity in a way that produces delicious tension. I noted chalky mineral flavours with lime, apricot and orange blossom characters that are subtle but clearly evident. The wine will age magnificently. it’s a Central Otago classic." 98 Points - Gourmet Traveller (June/July 2014)
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Commencing with meticulous site selection and vineyard design in 1991, Felton Road's story is one of refusal to compromise. A strict 100% estate policy with fully organic and biodynamic viticulture (BioGro and Demeter certified) ensures that fruit arrives at the winery as pure as it can be, while the entire estate comes as close to true sustainability as is possible. A commitment to hands off winemaking: gravity flow, wild yeasts, wild malo, an avoidance of fining and filtration all help preserve the wine's expression of its terroir. The result is Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir which accurately express the authenticity and complexity of their unique vineyards.
