Felton Road Calvert Pinot Noir 2022
Only
$84.99
Commercial Description:
After a moderate winter with normal rainfall, budburst occurred in late September. Flowering commenced in early December as normal, with some rain and temperatures hovering around average. A period of cool evenings raised concerns
of a potential poor set. Significant rainfall at the beginning of January and further rain in the middle of the month resulted in more than double the monthly rainfall. This wetter period throughout the phase of cell division resulted in generally
larger berries and made-up for potentially lower bunch weights from the uneven flowering conditions. The weather stabilised in February with warmer and much drier conditions; which continued throughout the lead-up, and until the conclusion of harvest.
Tasting Note: Perfumed floral notes abound amongst a background of dark fruits, Indian spice and a savoury earthiness. The vines, now 20 years old, are deeply settled in the silt soils of this remarkable site - providing a distinctive and consistent vineyard expression. Florality, subtlety and harmony, with finely chiseled
tannins, are the hallmarks of Calvert.
Alc 13.5%
