Felton Road Block 6 Chardonnay 2018, Central Otago
Fruit for this wine comes from the Elms Vineyard in Bannockburn. Aromas of pure fresh fruits including apple, white peach and baked pear. Fragrant too with a blossom layer then gentle spicy wood scents with old wood spices, a raw sugar moment and vanilla. There’s no mistaking the core of minerality with a fine stone quality. Complex. Dry on the palate with medium+ weight pushed along with a gentle warmth from the alcohol then flavours of pear and white stone fruit, apple and white flowers then spices of oak. A complex delicious wine drinking well from today and through 2024+.
