REGION NOTES
Felton Road farms four properties totaling 32 ha in the Bannockburn sub-region of Central Otago. Blocks 2 and 4 are located on gravel fans within the Elms Vineyard with deep soils of angular schist gravels. Meticulous summer management of a single vertical shoot positioned (VSP) canopy ensures even and early fruit maturity. Shoot thinning, shoot positioning, leaf plucking, bunch thinning and harvest are all carried out by hand to ensure optimum quality fruit. Cover crops are planted between rows to assist in vine balance and to improve soil health and general biodiversity.

Moderately sweet riesling with lime, citrus, green apple, floral and salty-mineral flavours. Assertive acidity is balanced by sweetness to give the wine tension. Perhaps a touch too green, although time promises to integrate and mellow the wine.

There are aromas of lime pie and some light fresh herbs, as well as white peach and pastry. The palate has impressive concentration and deep-set lime and sweet apple flavors. Treads the off-dry line nicely. Super fresh, pithy resolve. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
