Felton RoadBlock 2 Chardonnay
About this product
Crushed sea shells and delicate citrus blossom lead the focussed and detailed nose. The palate follows with a salinity and minerality that is subtle, complex and intriguing. Devoid of any overt wine-making characters, the wine offers a transparency that allows its unique vineyard origin of schist gravel soils to really shine and take centre stage. Refined and poised with serious precision.

Felton Road single handedly elevates the breathtaking peaks of Central Otago above the vast plains of New Zealand chardonnay, thanks to taut lemon zest, honed white peach and zesty acidity juxtaposed with complex, crafted, lees-derived bacon fat and charcuterie brilliance.

Complex toasty, nutty and gentle buttery nuances, some roasted hazelnut starting up. Rich but dry palate, full-bodied and long on the aftertaste. Clean, dry, firm-ish finish.
