      Crafted from the exceptional Block 2 of The Elms vineyard, the Felton Road Dry Riesling captures the purity and vibrancy of Central Otago’s terroir. Hand-picked, whole bunch pressed, and fermented with indigenous yeasts, this wine undergoes a slow fermentation process, achieving almost complete dryness. The wine rests on fine lees for added palate weight before being bottled with minimal processing to preserve its delicate and expressive Riesling characteristics. This minimal intervention approach ensures that each sip reflects the meticulous care taken in every step of the winemaking process, from the vineyard to the bottle.

      Much more delicate than the Heaphy Old Vine Riesling and still shows ripe citrus as well as a touch of white blossom. Pure, not bone dry. In fact the sweetness shows more on the finish than it does in the Heaphy. Extremely pure and very long. Should age well.

      — November 2024, Jancisrobinson.com, Julia Harding MW – 16.5

      Slightly flinty, with braided flavours of green apple, citrus oil, clover honey and sweet basil, this lithe wine has driving, zesty acidity and finely pithy phenolics. The citrus oil returns with some earthy, gravelly minerality as the delicately aromatic palate tapers down to a very long finish. A refined and elegant wine with plenty of energy and the impeccable balance which will allow it to develop over a long period. Drink: 2025 – 2039.

      — The Real Review, Stephen Wong, MW – 95 Points

      Pure, floral aromas of lime peel, peaches, flint and white blossoms. The palate is light-bodied with high-energy acidity, giving notes of yellow apples, candied lemon zest, tangerines and slate. Tense and refined with an underlying texture. Vibrant and tangy. Drink or hold.

      — James Suckling – 94 Points
