Description
Felton Road Calvert Pinot Noir, Central Otago, South Island, New Zealand, 2021
100% Pinot Noir, organic/biodynamic, handpicked from the Calvert vineyard (deep silt soil), indigenous yeast fermentation, destemmed fruit with 20% whole bunch, 16 months ageing in French oak barrels (25% new), bottled unfined & unfiltered.
Perfumed floral notes abound amongst a background of dark fruits, Indian spice and a savoury earthiness. The vines, now 20 years old, are deeply settled in the silt soils of this remarkable site - providing a distinctive and consistent vineyard expression. Florality, subtlety and harmony, with finely chiselled tannins, are the hallmarks of Calvert. This 2021 is as fine as it gets.
"Really elegant, showing light, fresh pure red cherry fruit with some raspberry brightness and a sour cherry edge. Supple and fine with lovely elegance."
95/100 points, Jamie Goode, WINE ANORAK, October 2022
"Bright pale crimson. Deep flavours suggest purple velvet somehow. Really interesting and savoury with fine tannins and excellent structure – and apparent future. A real caress on the palate. Already fun but should last really well."
17+/20 points, Jancis Robinson, JANCISROBINSON.COM, October 2022
