Description
Felton Road Calvert Pinot Noir, Central Otago, New Zealand, 2022
Grape: 100% Pinot Noir, organic/biodynamic, handpicked from the Calvert vineyard (deep silt soil), indigenous yeast fermentation, destemmed fruit with 25% whole bunch, 16 months' ageing in French oak barrels (28% new), bottled unfined & unfiltered.
Winemaker's Tasting Note:
Characteristic Calvert florals lead the nose with violets and dark rose petals dominating. The warmer 2022 vintage attempts to outplay the vineyard character, but as we have come to learn with this vineyard, Calvertness is rarely, if ever, outclassed. The deep silt soils and naturally moderated vine vigour provides intensity and detailed, elegant tannins. Fine and regal: a classic Calvert.
Critics' Tasting Notes:
"Medium crimson. Perfumed and black-fruited. Dried herbs, smoky, wet-stone minerality and a salty/savoury character that makes it extra appealing. The tannins are fine-grained and elegant." Drink Now - 2038
