Here small pockets of vineyard shadowed by snowcapped mountains have a unique micro-climate that enables the production of fine wine even here on the outer limits of sustainable wine production. The hot days, cool nights and long dry autumns play a vital role in this. The winemaking philosophy here is a ‘softly, softly’ approach – at no point in the viticulture or winemaking processes is the human hand allowed to make its mark too heavily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFelton Road work in tandem with nature using organic treatments, manure and plant cover crops to ensure natural biodiversity in the vineyards. Low yields are achieved through hand pruning and all picking takes place by hand. In the cellars Burgundian barrels are used for the oak-aged wines and bottling takes place without fining or filtration. The result is pure, light touch, vibrant wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"felton-road-bannockburn-pinot-noir","title":"Felton Road Bannockburn Pinot Noir 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eBeing just south of the 45th parallel, close to the most southerly vineyards on Earth, Bannockburn has a cool climate ideally suited for the production of elegant Pinot Noir. This Felton Road expression is a blend of the estate's four Bannockburn vineyards which were chosen for their exceptional combination of slope, climate and deep glacial soils. Meticulous farming without recourse to chemicals and observing the natural rhythms of the ecosystems, combined with \"hands off\" winemaking, results in a wine that expresses a true sense of place. The aroma leads to a bright and lifted combination of red and dark fruits with considerable florals. On the palate, there is a combination of transparency, power and tension. The silky entry of spice and savoury notes expand to pure, deep fruits, braced with acidity, but luscious\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ethroughout.
