NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Felton Road Calvert Pinot Noir shows great purity and primacy of fruit expression with upfront notes of cherry and raspberry.Time in the glass reveals complex floral and earthy complexity supported by sweet oak spices. The density and frim edge to the silky tannins suggests this wine will reward further cellaring over the next 15 years.

ORIGINS
Winery: Felton Road
Region: Central Otago
Huddled in the bottom of New Zealand's South Island, Central Otago is the world's southernmost wine region. With its unique terroir, Central Otago is home to some of the country's most exciting and distinctive wines.
Central Otago's wine industry began in the late 19th century, when the first vines were planted in the region. However, it wasn't until the 1980s that the region began to gain recognition for its wines. Since then, the region has become one of New Zealand's most important wine regions, producing some of the country's most sought-after Pinot Noirs.CUSTOMER RATING
