Planted in 1993, Block 6 offers a distinct site expression shaped by its elevated, exposed position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a poised Chardonnay whose fine texture and aromatic detail are developed through patient maturation in seasoned oak. Organic and biodynamic farming and an estate-grown approach keep the focus on the vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eVintage \u0026amp; Winemaking\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003ePredominantly Mendoza with some Dijon clone 95, the fruit was whole-bunch pressed and transferred by gravity to seasoned French oak. Indigenous-yeast fermentation was followed by complete malolactic fermentation. The wine spent 17 months in barrel, including 11 months on gross lees, before bottling in August 2026 without fining or filtration. No new oak was used.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eProduct Highlights\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProducer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFelton Road\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWine\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlock 6 Chardonnay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVintage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2025\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCentral Otago\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSubregion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBannockburn\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCountry\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew Zealand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVolume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eClosure\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScrew Cap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVariety\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStyle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStill white wine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-block Chardonnay from The Elms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVines planted in 1993.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrganic and biodynamic estate farming.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeventeen months in seasoned French oak.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottled unfined and unfiltered.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGolden apple, pistachio and acacia flower.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFine, smooth and composed, with rounded edges from extended neutral-oak maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSubtle chamomile and cardamom notes carry the close.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe suggest roast chicken, seared scallops, grilled lobster, mushroom pasta or a leek and Gruyère tart.
