Felton Road Bannockburn Pinot Noir 2022

The unique gravity flow winery enabled the grapes to
be gently destemmed directly into open-top
fermenters without pumping, retaining 20% as whole
clusters. Traditional fermentation with a moderately
long maceration on skins has extracted good colour
and tannin with considerable depth of flavour. This
wine was aged for 13 months in 25% new French
oak barrels from artisan Burgundian coopers. In
accordance with our non-interventionalist approach
to winemaking, this wine was fermented with
indigenous yeast a

Noxe : deep florals: dark roses, violets,
and an undertow of ripe red fruit

Palate: A pure but powerful drive
of fruit on a perfect cusp of ripeness, with
complexing notes of sandalwood and spice.
This is all about harmony and balance with the
transparency of fruit allowing the detail to
shine through. Silken tannins finish the
package.
