[SOLD-OUT] Felton Road Calvert Pinot Noir 1500mL-Magnum 2020

 

"Calvert Vineyard is located on Felton Road and is just 1km east of The Elms Vineyard and the winery. The soils at Calvert are deep heavy silts with a thin layer of loess topsoil...The unique gravity flow winery enabled the grapes to be gently destemmed directly into open-top fermenters without harsh pumping with approximately 20% as whole clusters...The wine spent 17 months in barrel (30% new French) with two rackings and no fining or filtration, before bottling in early-September 2021.

Immediately bursting with characteristic Calvert florals that are supported by dark cherry, plum and allspice. Violets flow endlessly on a silk laden mid-palate that intensifies and firms in the normal Calvert manner. Refinement; precision; florality; deeply reflective: descriptors that commonly define this great site are respectfully amplified in this cooler and slower ripening vintage." - Felton Road
