It's all about the schist soils, the ideal growing season, carefully guided and gently raised, rather than winemaking. The harmoniously integrated acidity tightens the core, giving length and focus.

Its higher elevation (282–300m) and steeper slope favourably intercept the sun but leave it more exposed to wind, producing the riper, more boldly fruited of Felton Road's two single-block Chardonnays.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e14.0% alc. | Screwcap | Cellar 10–15 years\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Felton Road","offers":[{"title":"1 Bottle","offer_id":67798444376173,"sku":"RAWFR-2","price":84.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1421\/5622\/files\/Felton_Road_Block_6_Chardonnay_2025_001.jpg?v=1792512395"},{"product_id":"felton-road-block-5-pinot-noir-2025","title":"Felton Road Block 5 Pinot Noir 2025","description":"\u003cp\u003eA perfectly seamless and finely balanced nose, asserting Block 5's hallmark elegance and refinement. The palate opens subtly, but expands generously in the manner of the great Pinot Noir descriptor of peacock's tail. Encompassing, harmonious with not a single component jostling for recognition – it's just mature 30-year-old vines doing their business. The precision of fruit and flavour, combined with silk-laden tannins, bring it all to an immensely satisfying finish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlock 5 is Felton Road's flagship Pinot Noir and one of the most sought-after wines in New Zealand. The block sits on a gentle north-facing slope in the heart of The Elms vineyard in Bannockburn and was planted in 1993. The soils vary up the slope from heavy loess and silt, through clay lakebed deposits, to angular schist gravels.
