{"product_id":"felton-road-block-3-pinot-noir-nouvelle-zelande","title":"Felton Road - Block 3 Pinot Noir - 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eLocated in the Central Otago region of New Zealand's South Island, Felton Road's Block 3 vineyard lies within the Bannockburn sub-region, renowned for its exceptionally precise Pinot Noirs. Planted on ancient terraces with silty-clay and schist soils, it benefits from a cool continental climate characterized by significant temperature variations. The moderate altitude and abundant sunshine allow for slow and complete ripening of the grapes, resulting in wines that are concentrated, elegant, and imbued with a beautiful freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe grapes for Block 3 are hand-harvested, fully destemmed, and then gravity-fed into the vats. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks using indigenous yeasts, with gentle punch-downs to extract color and fine tannins. After racking, the wine is transferred to French oak barrels, a limited proportion of which are new, where it undergoes malolactic fermentation and extended aging on fine lees before bottling without fining or heavy filtration, in order to preserve the integrity of the terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003eblack cherry\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003eraspberry\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003eplum\u003c\/strong\u003e , complemented by \u003cstrong\u003efloral\u003c\/strong\u003e touches of violet and peony, as well as \u003cstrong\u003espicy\u003c\/strong\u003e nuances of sweet pepper and clove.

On the palate, the texture is silky, supported by lively acidity, fine tannins, and a long, precise finish that underscores the wine's balance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valade \u0026 Transandine","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":56583604535644,"sku":null,"price":112.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0284\/0032\/0643\/files\/felton-road-block-3-pinot-noir-2020_1.png?v=1769596538","url":"https:\/\/www.lebaroudeurduvin.com\/en-fi\/products\/felton-road-block-3-pinot-noir-new-zealand","provider":"Le Baroudeur du Vin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
