{"product_id":"felton-road-bannockburn-riesling-nouvelle-zelande","title":"Felton Road - Bannockburn Riesling - 2025","description":"\u003cp\u003eLocated in the Central Otago region of New Zealand's South Island, the Bannockburn vineyard benefits from a continental climate characterized by significant temperature variations. The Felton Road vines are planted on north-facing slopes at moderate altitudes, in soils of loess, shale, and glacial gravel that ensure excellent drainage. This cool, sunny terroir allows for slow ripening of the grapes, preserving vibrant acidity and great aromatic purity—essential elements for the precise and crystalline style of this Riesling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSourced from biodynamically certified vineyards, the grapes are hand-harvested, sorted, and then pressed as whole bunches. The must is then clarified by gravity before a slow fermentation at low temperature, conducted primarily in stainless steel tanks to preserve the aromatic purity and tension of the wine. A small proportion may ferment in neutral oak barrels to add complexity and texture. Aging on fine lees continues for several months without new oak, before early bottling to retain the freshness and precision of the Riesling profile.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003evibrant citrus\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003estone fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003ewhite-fleshed fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e , complemented by \u003cstrong\u003edelicate floral\u003c\/strong\u003e touches and a \u003cstrong\u003emineral\u003c\/strong\u003e dimension reminiscent of wet stone.
