About this product
Dry, Light Bodied style of Pinot NoirCentral Otago, New ZealandFelton Road is responsible, to a large extent, for putting Central Otago on the world Pinot Noir map. The wines are, well not so much fruit-driven, as perhaps turbo-charged! Amazing levels of red fruits, a subtle yet important savoury component, along with the silky texture all Pinot enthusiasts long for. This single-block wine shows how different portions of a single vineyard can still have a quite unique character, or what the French would call terrior.

Light bodied red wines have a water-light mouthfeel and light flavour impact. Often pale to light/medium in colour.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Absolutely legendary in its ethereal expression, this wine has no right to be $87 at Dan's. Mesmeric bouquet of black cherries, graphite, exotic spice, violets and rose petals. A devastating palate sets pepper and exotic spice in a sea of finely textured, firmly poised tannins. Remarkable length, line, poise.
