Felton Road, tasting note (feltonroad.com – produktside feltonroad.com, hentet 2026-10-19): 2003 Felton Road Chardonnay – område: Bannockburn (Central Otago); drue: Chardonnay. Producentens noter (engelsk): Vintage & vinification: The warm and dry autumn combined with careful vineyard work has produced grapes with intense ripe flavours. Carefully hand harvested, whole bunch pressed and wild yeast fermention entirely in stainless steel, preserves the primary fruit flavours. Ageing on yeast lees and complete malolactic fermentation has produced a wine with complex aromas and flavours and a generous palate with soft mouthfeel. The wine expresses fruit aromas from the unique Bannockburn “Terroir” and complex leesy/minerally characters. Bouquet & Palate An interesting nose of stonefruit, toasted nuts and mineral complexities. Completely stainless steel tank fermented this wine expresses pure Chardonnay fruit without any oak influence. Malolactic fermentation and ageing on yeast lees contributes to the flavour complexity giving excellent mouthfeel and length. It’s amazing how many people love this wine who normally don’t like Chardonnay’s.
