Felton Road Bannockburn Pinot Noir 2023 is a premium New Zealand Pinot Noir from Bannockburn in Central Otago, crafted from fruit grown across Felton Road's four Bannockburn vineyards. The 2023 vintage presents a vibrant and youthful expression of Pinot Noir, combining red fruit, floral, herbal and savoury characteristics with fresh acidity and fine tannins.
The wine is made using indigenous yeast fermentation, with 20% whole clusters and 13 months of ageing in French oak, including 25% new barrels. It was neither fined nor filtered, helping preserve the wine's natural texture and site expression.
