2016 Felton Road Pinot Noir Vin Gris

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

92 Points

Tuesday, February 12, 2019 - Bought £26.00 House of Townend Wines, Yorkshire.

Popped and poured, well chilled.

Interesting super-gluggable wine. Unusual wine, can't think of another NZ producer doing a Vin Gris; Felton Rd are doing very well indeed.

C....deep Onion skin, almost copper.

N....not much, which was a bit of a worry.

T....lovely wine, crisp finish but with plenty of charming fruit before that. Solid medium+ body. Peaches, quinces, lemons, some earthies, high alc, wood, hint of rose petal. Lovely swirling acidity at the moment. Very good Foodie style. Different/eccentric, a successful ''experiment'' (but, happily, not in an failing, faulty, 'look at me' needy 'Natural Wine' way).

VFM?....will buy again, and drink young.
