Lot presentation

Central Otago Felton Road Bannockburn Pinot Noir 2016

The wine

The Barnockburn Pinot Noir expresses lovely aromas of black cherry as well as notes of rose and sweet spices (cinnamon, nutmeg), whereas on the palate it is generous with refined tannins and a lovely texture. Taste when young or after a couple of years so that it gains in complexity.

About the Producer Felton Road

France is not the only country where a love of the terroir encourages winegrowers to adopt biodynamic practices, as has been demonstrated by the Felton Road domaine in Central Otago New Zealand since 2002. For twenty years, Nigel Greening's vineyard, which is split between four outstanding parcels, has been producing authentic, delicate wines while respecting the soil and vines. These wines set a benchmark, as is demonstrated by their 13th position in the Drinks International magazine rankings.
