The Felton Road Block 5 Pinot Noir is an iconic Central Otago pinot noir, much sought after and as rare as hen's teeth. Block 5 is situated on a gentle north facing slope in the heart of The Elms vineyard and was planted in 1993. The vineyard is farmed biodynamically and is fully certified by Demeter. There is minimal intervention in the winemaking. Ferments are spontaneous from the wild or indigenous yeasts that are in the vineyards and winery. The wine is neither fined nor filtered. The 2023 Block 5 comprises 20% whole bunch and spent 16 months in barrel (25% new French oak).
