Structure, depth and quiet intensity define this commanding Central Otago Pinot Noir, presented in the 1.5L Magnum format. Sourced from the north-facing Block 3 parcel within The Elms Vineyard, this site is known for producing some of Felton Road’s most powerful and ageworthy wines. Schist-based soils with loess and gravel overlays contribute natural concentration, mineral drive and firm structure.
The 2024 vintage shows a composed yet assertive profile, with dark berry and black cherry fruit framed by savoury and earthy nuance. Biodynamic farming, indigenous fermentation and gentle extraction preserve clarity and balance, while carefully integrated oak adds subtle spice without obscuring site expression. Fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity shape a tightly wound core built for longevity.
In Magnum, the wine gains additional freshness and slow, graceful evolution, reinforcing its suitability for extended cellaring. This is a Pinot Noir of authority and poise, capturing both the power of its site and the precision that defines Felton Road’s style.

“Complex and structured with dark cherries, forest floor and subtle spice. Medium- to full-bodied with firm, fine tannins and a long, precise finish. Built for aging.”

“Concentrated and youthful with layers of dark berry fruit, earth and spice. Fine tannins and fresh acidity give length and balance, ideal for cellaring.”
