Like a puppy, lively and full of vigour but also delicate and soft.
The Felton Road Calvert Pinot Noir has a characteristic aroma of floral and is finely supported by mineral and spice notes on the nose. It’s seamlessly followed by a detailed palate that emphasizes precision and elegance. There is a crunch to the texture of the wine with a refine and evident tannins. The wine finishes with the accuracy and finesse that is becoming the hallmark of Calvert.
The Calvert Pinot Noir is always a little more floral and delicate when compared to the other fine Pinot Noirs in the Felton Road stable. Calvert vineyard sits just a kilometer away from the Elms vineyard and home winery. The fruit from this site always provides the most aromatic and ethereal style of Pinot Noir for Felton Road.
