For the next part of our New Zealand wine series, we focus on the beautiful Central Otago region & the new wine releases from the most critically acclaimed producer from the region, Felton Road. 

Producer - Felton Road

Felton Road is one of New Zealand’s most premium wineries, producing World-Class wines.

In New Zealand's Central Otago, the Felton Road winery was bought by Nigel Greening, a self-described Pinot Noir "addict" from England, in 2000 and has been farmed organically & biodynamically since then.


Felton Road's grapes are entirely grown in their own 'Elms Bannockburn Vineyard', which has a northerly exposure to help maximise ripeness. The Elms vineyard is subdivided into 4 plots, namely MacMuir, The Elms, Calvert & Cornish Point.

Felton Road's winemaker Blair Walter's experience in Oregon and Burgundy has stood him in good stead for coaxing the best out of the property's vines. He adopts a 'hands-off approach in the unique three-level winery built into the hillside to produce wines of elegance, complexity, and exceptional depth of fruit.

The result is that Felton Road produces a rare beast - A superb Pinot Noir wine, one of the best examples from outside Burgundy, plus an equally great Chardonnay.

Felton Road is arguably the most famous and awarded winery in Central Otago, and we are delighted to offer you the following wines to you.

More about Central Otago

A spectacular landscape and sophisticated tourist culture also home to some of the world’s best Pinot Noir, not to mention impressive, vivid white wines.

All of the main winegrowing sub-regions lie within close reach, with the distinctive mountainous terrain providing each with a unique climate, aspect and altitude.

Pinot Noir flourishes in the Central Otago, with a variety of stunning expressions being crafted in the numerous sub-regions.

Thanks for taking the time to read our second instalment of the New Zealand wine series. We have all the above wines in stock but as each vintage is on allocation, once the wines are gone they are gone until the next vintage release. 

Happy shopping! 

Have a great weekend,

Chris
