Description
Felton Road Calvert Pinot Noir, Central Otago, New Zealand, 2024
Grape: 100% Pinot Noir, 5.9ha vineyard, vines planted in 2001, organic/biodynamic, handpicked from the Calvert vineyard (deep silt soil), indigenous yeast fermentation, destemmed fruit with 25% whole bunch, 16 months' ageing in French oak barrels (28% new), bottled unfined & unfiltered.
The Calvert wines normally exhibit a firm texture and expansive mouthfeel with floral aromatics and ripe dark fruits. The tannins are fine and focused with a distinct minerality.
Winemaker's Tasting Note:
As is so often the case with Calvert, what impresses most is the wine’s subtlety and precision; patience is rewarded as the site methodically reveals itself. Earthy, dark cherry and plum aromas expand outward, becoming delicately floral; rose and violet infused. The mineral, graphite-textured palate builds - ever so subtly - to a rich, leather-bound cocoa finish. A most urbane expression of this vineyard and its deep clay soils
Food Match: Drink this Pinot Noir with turkey, duck, goose and game birds such as quail & pheasant.
