Felton Road Bannockburn 2025 - Central Otago, New Zealand

Among the producers who established Felton Road as one of New Zealand's most respected wine estates, the Bannockburn Chardonnay exemplifies the estate's uncompromising approach to site-driven winemaking. Sourced from north-facing vineyards in its namesake region, where pioneering plantings in the early 1990s helped reveal the area's potential for premium winegrowing, this chardonnay is farmed biodynamically and crafted with minimal intervention. Whole-bunch pressing, indigenous yeasts and carefully judged oak ageing allow its distinctive schist-influenced terroir to shine through, resulting in a wine of purity, precision and remarkable mineral energy.
