The estate's free-draining, low-fertility soils and distinctive continental climate provide the ideal conditions for producing world-class Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling that express both purity and place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"937\" data-start=\"483\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eCertified organic and biodynamic, Felton Road has farmed with minimal intervention since 2002, earning both Demeter and BioGro certification. Every vineyard task is carried out by hand, with meticulous attention given to vine balance, biodiversity and soil health. In the winery, gentle gravity flow, indigenous yeast fermentations, restrained oak use and minimal fining or filtration allow each vineyard and block to speak with clarity and authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"1393\" data-start=\"939\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eLed by a philosophy of nurturing rather than manipulating, Felton Road has become internationally renowned for wines that balance elegance, precision and longevity.

After a later than average budbreak, the vines grew well until a katabatic frost, the most extensive in twenty years, struck the vineyards on 3 November. Fortunately, losses were localised within vineyards and occurred early enough in the season for many vines to recover. A benign, settled period coincided with flowering and a successful fruit set did much to compensate for the damage from the frost. Summer saw even temperatures and a protracted dry period, which served to slow down ripening and concentrate flavours. After February finished with a warm flourish, the weather cooled distinctly, especially at night. The slow and measured conclusion of ripening has endowed the wines with an impressive breadth, vibrancy and finesse.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"1393\" data-start=\"939\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e- Felton Road\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"felton-road-bannockburn-chardonnay-central-otago-nz-2024-copy","title":"Felton Road Bannockburn Chardonnay - Central Otago, NZ 2025","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\"The hallmark of the Bannockburn Chardonnay has always been its purity and that continues to be the driving force in the 2025.
