Who makes it
Felton Road uses only grapes from its own vineyards. Gareth King leads the vineyard team. Nigel Greening bought the Elms vineyard in 2000, when it covered 9 hectares; it later grew to 14.6 hectares.
The vineyards have been managed organically and biodynamically since 2002. All four received Demeter certification in 2010 and BioGro certification in 2020.
Where it grows
In 1991, Stewart Elms used heat summation data and soil maps to identify the north-facing slopes at the end of Felton Road in Bannockburn. The vineyards have three free-draining soil types, all low in fertility, and grow Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling.
What they make
The Pinot Noir range includes MacMuir, Bannockburn, Cornish Point and Block 5. Chardonnay and Riesling make up the white wines, including the 2024 Bannockburn Chardonnay.
MacMuir Pinot Noir 2024 has blackberry, black cherry, blood plum and cocoa notes, with fine, savoury tannins.
