Felton Road Cornish Point Pinot Noir 2024 from Central Otago offers a harmonious balance of freshness and depth with notes that evolve beautifully in the glass.

On the nose, this Central Otago Pinot Noir reveals an inviting bouquet of ripe cherries and wild strawberries, intertwined with hints of thyme and a touch of earthy minerality that speaks to the Cornish Point vineyard's unique terroir.

Subtle floral undertones of violet add complexity, while a whisper of oak spice from careful barrel ageing enhances the aromatic profile without overpowering the fruit-forward essence typical of Felton Road wines.

The palate delivers a medium-bodied structure with juicy red berry flavours at the forefront, complemented by layers of dark plum and a gentle savouriness that builds intrigue.

Fine tannins provide a velvety mouthfeel, supported by bright acidity that ensures freshness and longevity, reflecting the cool-climate precision of Felton Road's sustainable viticulture.

Finishing with lingering notes of spice and a faint herbal edge.

It's evolving character rewards cellaring for a few years, promising even greater complexity as the flavours integrate further.
