Felton Road
Pinot Noir, MacMuir, 2024
justerini & brooks tasting note
The fourth vintage of a single vineyard that the Felton Road team are confident will come to challenge Blocks 3 and 5 for Pinot superiority, the 2024 arrives with a lot more incense and lavender over the estate Bannockburn, with a wash of ripe, velvety tannins and plush, succulent fruit. Situated 1 km east of the Elms vineyard and the winery, 300m west of Calvert, MacMuir is a young vines plot (2009) designed with climate change in mind. Planted with higher vine density and a range of massage selections from the Block 5 and Block 3 vineyards on deep silt soils. Fermented with 25% whole clusters and aged for 13 months in 25% French new oak barrels.
