2023 Felton Road Block 6 Chardonnay

The 2023 Felton Road Block 6 Chardonnay is a benchmark Central Otago white that combines precision, texture, and remarkable site expression. Sourced from one of Felton Road’s most celebrated parcels, it reflects the region’s cool-climate clarity while delivering the depth and complexity that have made the winery a reference point for premium New Zealand wine.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a pale straw to bright gold hue, with a vibrant, polished appearance. The nose is refined and layered, often offering citrus, white peach, subtle stone fruit, struck flint, and gentle spice, with a fine mineral edge that speaks to the site. On the palate, it is focused and energetic, balancing ripe fruit richness with taut acidity and a creamy, textural mid-palate. Expect a long, composed finish with saline freshness and understated oak integration. Block 6 Chardonnay is built to age gracefully, gaining complexity over the next several years and beyond.

Production
Felton Road Block 6 Chardonnay comes from Central Otago, one of New Zealand’s coolest and most distinctive wine regions, where intense sunlight and cool nights create wines of both concentration and freshness. The block’s specific terroir contributes to the wine’s precision and mineral drive, while careful hand harvesting and thoughtful cellar work preserve purity and balance. Vinification is typically handled with a restrained approach to highlight site expression, texture, and finesse rather than overt winemaking influence.

Food & Serving
This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with roast chicken, butter-poached seafood, grilled salmon, lobster, and dishes with creamy or mushroom-based sauces. It is best served slightly chilled, around 10-12°C, and may benefit from a short decant if opened young to allow its aromatics and texture to open fully.

Producer
Felton Road is one of Central Otago’s most respected producers, widely known for its commitment to biodynamic farming and site-driven wines. Over the years, it has earned a strong reputation for crafting some of New Zealand’s finest Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Riesling, with Block 6 standing out as one of its most admired Chardonnay expressions.
