Felton Road Cornish Point Pinot Noir exhibits rooding dark fruit, spices, violets, cinnamon, even cedar on the nose confirm themselves in the rich, broad palate. A hint of oak as always in the young wine, which will disappear as the palate grows even more intense with age. Chewy chocolate richness helps build a sustained finish.

Goes well with game, red meats and cheeses.

Felton Road Wine is located in Bannockburn, Central Otago in New Zealand, the most southerly wine growing region in the world. Here, vineyards are nestled into small macroclimates totally surrounded by high mountains, many of which are snowcapped all year round. Though the location is on the edge of sustainable viticulture these macroclimates consistently combine hot days, cool nights and long dry autumns: perfect for the creation of fine Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling.

Central Otago is New Zealand's only wine region with a continental climate rather than a maritime one. This brings the risk of frosts but has the benefit of low rainfall and high sunshine hours. Of the five distinct macroclimates so far identified in Central Otago, Bannockburn, with its gentle north facing slopes and deep loess soils seems well suited to the production of complex Pinot Noir.
