Block 3

2011 Central Otago Pinot Noir

The Felton Road Block 3 Pinot Noir from the 2011 vintage is a striking example of the exceptional wines that emerge from Central Otago's unique terroir. With its deep ruby red color, this wine reveals an enchanting bouquet that harmoniously blends red fruit notes with subtle earthiness and a hint of spice. On the palate, it showcases a medium body with high acidity, providing a refreshing and lively mouthfeel. The fine tannins are well-structured, leading to a beautifully balanced wine that enhances its complexity. This delightful Pinot Noir is dry yet retains a prominent fruit intensity, making it a standout choice for anyone seeking a distinguished expression of New Zealand's winegrowing prowess.

New Zealand

New Zealand is one of the most isolated countries on Earth, and the small country surprised everyone when its crisp, focused wines began impressing critics in the 1990s. New Zealand first made its impact on the wine world with Sauvignon Blanc from the picturesque Marlborough region. Zingy, floral and herbaceous, these mouthwatering Sauvignon Blancs thrilled wine lovers. Pinot Noir is another success story here, becoming blissfully elegant with beautiful cherry aromas in regions like Central Otago and Wairarapa. While Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir star in New Zealand, stunning whites like Riesling, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay, and complex reds such as Syrah and Merlot, also find a welcome home in this beautiful and rugged land.
