Description / Reviews
"Commencing with meticulous site selection and vineyard design in 1991, Felton Road's story is one of refusal to compromise. A strict 100% estate policy with fully organic and biodynamic viticulture (BioGro and Demeter certified) ensures that our fruit arrives at the winery as pure as it can be, while our entire estate comes as close to true sustainability as is possible. A commitment to hands off winemaking: gravity flow, indigenous yeasts and malolactic, an avoidance of fining and filtration all help preserve the wine's expression of its terroir. The result is Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir which accurately express the authenticity and complexity of our unique vineyards. Enjoying their northerly exposure, the vines of Block 6 produce a wine whose aromas evoke the late afternoon sunlight. Golden apple, pistachio, and acacia flower are coaxed from the glass. The palate is fine yet smooth; 17 months of elevage in neutral oak have relaxed the wine and honed its edges. This is a Block 6 in a distinctly ‘reposado’ style. Unforced and elegant, finishing with intricate notes of chamomile and cardamom." - Felton Road, Winemaker
