2011 Pinot Noir Bannockburn

Grapes Pinot Noir
Colour Red
Origin New Zealand, South Island
ABV 14.5%
Vineyard Bannockburn

A pleasingly fresh nose displays cool and pure red pinot fruit, cherry and gentle floral whispers. There is plenty of verve to the delicious and intense flavors that are shaped by fine-grained tannins that contribute significantly to the refined mouth feel of the lingering finish. This does a slow but sure build from the mid-palate back to the impeccably well-balanced finish. Lovely. 2018+ Rating: 90 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Oct 2013)

A follow-on vintage of this endlessly impressive wine. With all its twists and turns - a touch of smoke, a dash of spice, a wave of redcurrant fruit - it's a beautifully complex wine that has bags of energy and charm. A delicious classic. Rating: 92 The Wine Gang - www.thewinegang.com (Sept 2013)

Felton Road

Felton Road and Rippon are undoubtedly the two leading vineyards in Central Otago, both making Pinots that are finely textured with fresh fruit flavours, rather than the 'fruit bombs' that so many others produce. Felton Road has been totally organic and biodynamic across their three Bannockburn vineyards since 2005. They have been certified by Demeter since 2009. After that there are more differences than similarities.
While Rippon, at Wanaka is on schist, Felton Road in Banockburn is on clay and calcareous loess. It is also very much in the rain shadow of the Main Divide. Irrigation is used at Rippon to help establish young vines, but dry farming is possible once the vines get their roots down, while at Felton Road permanent irrigation is required for the entire vineyard.
