Felton Road’s “Block 2” Chardonnay comes from a prized parcel in their Bannockburn estate, rooted in schist and clay soils. Farmed biodynamically, it reflects meticulous vineyard care and site precision.

Hand-picked, fermented with native yeasts, and aged in French oak, it’s layered and mineral, showcasing Central Otago’s cool-climate elegance. A flagship single-block expression.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 92
"The 2022 Chardonnay Block 2 is an athletic wine that knows where the finish line is. Clear and precise with a mouthwatering, sappy finish, it offers restrained fruit flavors of apple, pear and citrus alongside almond croissant notes. While serious, it has a pleasing roundness on the mid-palate that makes it approachable with food from 2024 onwards." -Rebecca Gibb MW

"The 2022 Block 2 Chardonnay was bottled, along with the Block 6 Chardonnay, in September 2023, as opposed to the 2022 Bannockburn Chardonnay which was bottled in May of 2023. The same winemaking (aside from a difference in the time spent in oak) across the cuvées serves to highlight the vineyard differences. This Block 2 is far more aromatically restrained and certainly hides the voluminous fruit behind a sheath of mineral phenolics. The wine is powerful but restrained and pure in its way. It's lovely, with a gentle brine note through the finish. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap." -Erin Larkin

"Elegant, flavourful and savoury. Mouth-filling, with high lemon-fruit intensity but lots of purity and focus. The oak is very elegantly used. The flavours last with a wet-stone minerality, dried herbs and a touch of white mushrooms."
