October 2021

A perfumed nose of strawberries, sour cherries, raspberries, violets, vanilla and baking spices. It’s medium-to full-bodied with lively acidity and fine tannins. Balanced and compact with a velvety texture and a bright core of fruit on the mid-palate. Long finish. Chewy. Needs a few years to soften, but already impressive.

February 2020 (Vintage 2020)

Heady violets, undergrowth and spiced sour cherries with vitality and vibrancy through the palate. Sinewy tannins, roasted nut oak tones and nervy acidity hold up the complex, rippling flavours of black cherry, plum compote, autumn leaves and earthy minerals. Bursting with potential; give it time.

April 2022 (Vintage 2020)

The 2020 Pinot Noir Bannockburn is welcoming as well as rich, savory and sinewy, delivering a plump cloud of both lifted and brooding fruit: a portion of whole-cluster fermentation has brought herbal and violet high notes alongside red and black cherry. There's excellent concentration despite this being the entry to the Felton Pinot range, and fine, lightly furry tannins on the medium-long finish.
