Vinification and aging

The winemaking process for Felton Road - Calvert Pinot Noir is meticulous, beginning with the hand-harvesting of fully ripe grapes. After rigorous sorting, the bunches are destemmed and then placed in vats for a natural fermentation, allowing the terroir to fully express itself. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels, some of which are new to impart a subtle oak influence. During this period, the wine benefits from regular lees stirring, enriching its texture and complexity. This artisanal process results in a balanced wine, where every sip tells the story of its terroir.
