DESCRIPTION
Upon release the wine is bright ruby in colour. On the nose there is a brooding melange of dark cherry, boysenberry, and poached plums, interlaced with spicy notes and a hint of potpourri. The palate is classically structured and refined, with a plush texture and sumptuous mouthfeel. Ripe velvety tannins work harmoniously alongside well-balanced acidity, setting up for a long and persistent finish.
Awarded Super Classic Status.

“The flight of Pegasus Bay Pinot Noirs continued to illustrate their burgundy influence, the reds often reminiscent of Morey-saint-Denis”.
– Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, USA
“Felton Road, along with Pegasus Bay has been my favourite pinot producer in New Zealand for years.”
