From a tiny single parcel in Bannockburn, planted in 1993 and farmed organically and biodynamically, this is Central Otago Pinot at its most refined. Deep, pure dark cherry and wild berry fruit roll into layers of violet, exotic spice and savoury earth, all wrapped in a beautifully silky texture. The palate is seamless and detailed, with fine, chalky tannins and a long, graceful finish that just keeps on humming.
This is the Felton Road Block that collectors chase every year - powerful but poised, already gorgeous in the glass and built to cruise in the cellar for well over a decade. If Block 5 is on your hit list, do not hesitate. Our allocation is small and it will disappear.

The winery writes "Immediately complex, the Block 5 bouquet runs the full and essential spectrum from green through red to black. A wine of seamless expanse; the palate is filled with morello, sandalwood and nutmeg without ever feeling sweet. Silky tannins reveal themselves on a finish of poise and elegance; the structure and balance of the wine endow it with the potential to age effortlessly. The aristocratic ease of this expression, as always, reflects the harmonious relationship of these mature vines and the land which benevolently accommodates them."
