The 2024 Felton Road Block 2 Chardonnay comes from the estate’s oldest Chardonnay vines, planted in 1992 on a gently sloping east-facing site of deep schist soils within The Elms Vineyard. The site’s cooler, sheltered position yields fruit of remarkable purity, showing a vibrant interplay of bright acidity and mineral drive. In the glass the wine is elegant and poised, its energy rooted in concentrated citrus and orchard fruit, while stony, earthy notes give it clear site definition. Felton Road’s biodynamic farming and skilful handling in the winery ensure that the wine maintains freshness and clarity, with oak integration that supports rather than overwhelms. The 2024 vintage reflects both finesse and latent power, balanced by steely acidity and a mineral backbone that carries through the finish. This Chardonnay conveys a sense of place and structure that will reward careful pairing or thoughtful cellaring. It is an ideal match for rich seafood, creamy poultry dishes or simply fine company.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1288\" data-end=\"1481\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1288\" data-end=\"1305\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1305\" data-end=\"1308\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1308\" data-end=\"1316\"\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1316\" data-end=\"1319\"\u003e– Bright citrus and orchard fruit\u003cbr data-start=\"1352\" data-end=\"1355\"\u003eAromas of crisp green apple, lemon curd and white peach with hints of elderflower, chamomile and subtle flint-like minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1483\" data-end=\"1656\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1483\" data-end=\"1493\"\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1493\" data-end=\"1496\"\u003e– Taut and textural\u003cbr data-start=\"1515\" data-end=\"1518\"\u003eDriven by vibrant acidity with concentrated stony, earthy minerality, layered citrus and orchard fruit and a finely tuned textural thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1658\" data-end=\"1812\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1658\" data-end=\"1668\"\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1668\" data-end=\"1671\"\u003e– Long and mineral-charged\u003cbr data-start=\"1697\" data-end=\"1700\"\u003eA persistent, mineral finish that highlights precision and clarity while retaining a lively and energetic close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1814\" data-end=\"2074\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1814\" data-end=\"1837\"\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1837\" data-end=\"1840\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Perfumed and subtle lemon and sliced apple aromas follow through to a medium body with so much finesse, yet it’s structured and lightly chewy.
