While Pinot Noir gets the bulk of the limelight in Central Otago, the region can pull off exceptional Chardonnay wines also.
The Felton Road Block 2 is one such example.
It's a flinty, tightly wound Chardonnay that shows inward concentration and rapier-like acidity. A touch of salty minerality through the palate and a long, flashy finish - this is top level Chardonnay from a regional icon.
