$227.00 price per bottle
From Central Otago, New Zealand , Felton Road has established itself as a benchmark producer of Pinot Noir, with a reputation for purity, balance, and site expression. The winery farms organically and biodynamically, with full BioGro and Demeter certification, and vinifies with minimal intervention. The Calvert Vineyard , situated in Bannockburn, is celebrated for producing wines of refinement and elegance, expressing the deep schist soils and distinctive microclimate of the site. Wine Description The Calvert Pinot Noir displays a deep ruby colour with lifted aromatics of rose petal, violet, and spice , layered with red and dark berry fruit. The palate is finely textured, showing a core of sweet cherry fruit , subtle earthiness, and savoury notes of forest floor and spice. Silky tannins and bright acidity frame the wine, giving it poise and length. The style is elegant, floral, and mineral-driven, with a long, harmonious finish. Crafted with indigenous yeasts, gentle handling, and ageing in French oak, the wine is unfined and unfiltered , preserving its natural character and complexity. Food Pairing The graceful yet structured style of Calvert makes it a versatile partner for duck breast, venison, lamb with rosemary, or wild mushroom risotto . Its floral aromatics and fine tannins also shine alongside truffle dishes or soft cheeses. This pairing highlights the wine’s depth and character.
