Felton Road Bannockburn Pinot Noir 2021, Central Otago

Purity and finesse, core varietal scents of dark cherry, violet and gun-flint, there’s a quiet smokiness from the barrel along with a five spice quality then a distinctive mineral and earth quality adding complexity and sense of place. A light dried herb and savoury quality reflect the rugged background these vineyards sites are exposed to. Perfect on the palate with a new youthful mouthfeel with textures from tannins and fruit, a fine savoury mineral quality and youthful energy. Chalky tannins and acidity .set the framework for fruit and barrel flavours. There’s a completeness about this wine with a heart of pinosity and charm. Excellent drinking early if you must, but wll also age and be equally delicious from 2025 through 2035.
