Felton Road’s “Calvert” Pinot Noir comes from a single biodynamic vineyard in Bannockburn, Central Otago. The site’s schist soils and cool climate shape precise, aromatic wines.

Hand-picked, fermented with native yeasts, and aged in French oak, it’s an elegant Pinot that reflects both place and Felton Road’s careful touch. A benchmark New Zealand single-vineyard expression.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 92
"What fragrance the 2021 Pinot Noir Calvert displays - it twists and turns with its florals, wild herbs, fennel and licorice, which make for layers of interest with the red cherry and raspberry fruit showing through on the finish. The quality of the tannins is refined and has a sense of coating the palate with a cocoa powder-like fineness. Drawn out and long with taut acidity." -Rebecca Gibb MW

Robert Parker

"The 2021 Calvert Pinot Noir leads with pomegranate and strawberry, rosehip and crushed walnuts. This is a spicy wine with lashings of black tea, fine tannins, pliable structure and an effortless flow of fruit in the mouth. Everything feels perfectly judged. I love the freshness of the acidity; it leaves the feeling in the mouth on an uptick. A flourish. It's good. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap." -Erin Larkin
