This white wine is made from the juice of the rare Pinot Noir. Its color is pale rose gold. It has a distinctive strawberry fruitiness that is characteristic of Pinot. It has a complex flavor and a long aftertaste.

About the Winery "Felton Road"

Felton Road is one of New Zealand's leading wineries. It began in 1991 when Stuart Elmes established a vineyard called Elms Vineyard in Bannockburn, Central Otago.

They then brought in winemaker Blair Walter and released their first Pinot Noir in 1997. The wine quickly captivated wine fans around the world, and Felton Road became a top winery with the highest level of recognition in the world.

Today, Central Otago has become a famous wine-producing region recognised by wine enthusiasts around the world, but it was Felton Road who was the pioneer that brought Pinot Noir to the attention of the world.

Branding in the style of Burgundy

Felton Road separates its wine series according to which vineyard grapes are used, and even releases several different varieties of the same variety harvested in the same year, each from a different vineyard.

This is because, even within the same Central Otago region, each field has its own unique soil characteristics, and these differences result in differences in the quality of the grapes and the aroma and flavor of the wine.

The more limited the vineyards from which the wine is harvested, the more limited the number of bottles produced, making it a "rare wine" and often resulting in a higher price.

This is a traditional branding practice in the Burgundy region of France where the wine originates.

A leading expert on the "Gravity Flow System" in New Zealand

At Felton Road, all of our vineyards are grown using biodynamic farming methods and we use a more natural approach to winemaking.

One feature worth noting is the "Gravity Flow System."

This is a method of using natural gravity as much as possible to process the harvested grapes and wine without using machinery.

In recent years, this system has been adopted by leading wineries around the world, but Felton Road was one of the first wineries in New Zealand to use this system, aiming to produce more natural wines.

About Central Otago

Central Otago, the southernmost region in the country, is known as a famous Pinot Noir producing area and is called one of the "three major Pinot Noir producing areas in the world" along with Burgundy and Oregon.

In addition to Pinot Noir, we are focusing on growing aromatic white grapes. This region is the only one of New Zealand's wine producing regions with a semi-continental climate, characterized by large daily temperature differences, coolness, and extreme dryness.

The region is also home to a wealth of small wineries, and winery tours based in the scenic town of Queenstown are popular.
