[SOLD-OUT] Felton Road Cornish Point Pinot Noir 2015

Gourmet Traveller Magazine 97 points!
“Perhaps the most individual and distinctive of Felton Road's single-vineyard pinot noirs, possibly because it is sited on a peninsula that is surrounded on three sides of water. Subtle, silken and very complex pinot noir with an array of dark cherry, plum, floral and oriental spice flavours. A core of sweet fruit perfectly balances fine, drying tannins to give the wine a lingering linear quality. Power delivered with subtlety. Very impressive.”
Bob Campbell MW, Gourmet Traveller Magazine, December 2016

Felton Road farms four properties totaling 32 ha in the Bannockburn sub-region of Central Otago. This wine is from Cornish Point vineyard where the close proximity to water creates a unique mesoclimate. Meticulous summer management of a single vertical shoot positioned (VSP) canopy ensures even and early fruit maturity. Shoot thinning, shoot positioning, leaf plucking, bunch thinning and harvest are all carried out by hand to ensure optimum quality fruit. Cover crops are planted between rows to assist in vine balance and to improve soil health and general biodiversity

Brambly forest floor, deep Eastern spice box and dark concentrated cherry aromas. The fruit intensity and plump richness that sings Cornish Point ultimately gives way to a pleasant and soothing rustic charm. An alluring and irresistible mouthfeel with a savoury intensity shining through the finish. Textbook Cornish Point; mouth-coating, silky and spicy!
