The 2024 Felton Road Pinot Noirs have arrived — and they are, quite simply, some of the finest wines we've had in the shop in years.

Felton Road farm biodynamically across four estate vineyards in Bannockburn, Central Otago. Everything is gravity-fed, wild-fermented, and left unfined and unfiltered. The results speak for themselves.

The 2024 Bannockburn (£265/case) is the estate blend — dark cherry, wild strawberry, a streak of earth and spice with real freshness and length. 95–96 points.

The 2024 Calvert (£285/case) is the more structured of the single vineyard wines — dark berry fruits, dried herbs, violets and a gorgeous sandy clay minerality. James Suckling scored it 97 points, and it's built to go the distance through to 2038.

The 2024 MacMuir (£325/case) is the most perfumed and seductive — strawberries, peach, slate and smoke with the most extraordinary velvety tannins. Bob Campbell MW said it has real personality and heft. He's not wrong.

So what a week it's been weather wise — from bright sunshine, to rain, then massive hail storms and thunder that nearly made the windows in the shop fall out!! As you'll see from Vinewatch below, the vines somehow survived unscathed. Next week is our Summer Tasting — make sure you book your ticket so you don't miss out. The menu for the Supper Club is also now available online! - https://mailchi.mp/04fcc02ea213/bordeaux-2025-en-primeur-10355465

It's been an interesting week. Don't panic — I'm not going to get into politics — but we have been busy tasting a brand new range of wines from Australia, and they are absolutely brilliant. We've got a few open in the shop today if you fancy popping in for a try, and they'll be making an appearance at our Summer Tasting on the 22nd too. - https://mailchi.mp/1ff981d919d6/bordeaux-2025-en-primeur-10355332
