Felton Road MacMuir Pinot Noir 2023

Country: New Zealand
Region and Appellation: Central Otago

The Felton Road MacMuir Pinot Noir 2023 stands out with its 95-point rating from James Suckling, showcasing a powerful, savory profile from New Zealand's acclaimed biodynamic estate. This brooding wine opens with dark cherries, blackberries, ferric earth, blood oranges, and cedar, complemented by cocoa powder, pomegranate, dried herbs, and caper brine. Ground spice, rosemary, and violet unfurl from a dense core of dark fruit.

Richly Structured and Decadent

Medium-bodied with finely integrated tannins, the palate delivers raspberry coulis, graphite, watermelon rind, and dark plum framed by fine chalky tannins and juicy acidity. Plush sweet fruit contrasts with grainy wood spice, cocoa, and cinnamon, showing impressive concentration and underlying power. From heavy silt soils with higher vine density and diverse clones, these Felton Road wines from New Zealand embody decadent texture, fine focused tannins, and distinct minerality with a very long finish. Drink now through 2037
