What is in this wine, and where it grows
The wine
Felton Road Calvert Pinot Noir 2024 Wine (75cl) is recorded as a 2024 red wine made from Pinot Noir in Central Otago, New Zealand.
Typical grape profile: Pinot Noir — Red fruit (cherry, cranberry, red plum), earthy and floral notes, silky texture. The finished bottle can differ with vintage and winemaking.
The vineyard evidence
The evidence link identifies Calvert Vineyard as named-vineyard with high confidence. The vineyard record lists Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Soil structure and vine density
Source-recorded ground: Bannockburn-series deep silt loams from lake-bed clays, quartz sands, quartz and fine schist gravels, with shallow loess; the Pipeclay Creek block has little topsoil and deeper gravels. Geology: Tertiary lake-bed sediments and quartz/schist alluvium with calcium carbonate at depth.
The description contains both coarse and finer material, so drainage and water storage may change between layers or blocks rather than behaving as one uniform soil.
Vine planting density: 3,500 vines/ha in the 2001 Pinot Noir blocks; 4,242–4,667 vines/ha in the 2020 plantings.. This describes vine spacing, not soil density.
A soil name is not a bulk-density measurement. BottlePicker only shows soil bulk density where a laboratory or modelled value exists. Texture interpretation follows USDA NRCS soil-water guidance.
Growing-temperature context
Pinot Noir: Cool-climate example; typically 1,800–2,500 growing degree days on the °F scale, equivalent to about 1,000–1,390 °C-days accumulated above a 10°C base.
Heat bands use Oregon State University Extension. The OIV climate method treats growing-season temperature as accumulated heat above 10°C, not a fixed daily target.

Source-supplied bottle description
Retained as supporting identification copy; the structured facts and evidence links above are kept separate.
'Commencing with meticulous site selection and vineyard design in 1991, Felton Road's story is one of refusal to compromise. A strict 100% estate policy with fully organic and biodynamic viticulture (BioGro and Demeter certified) ensures that their fruit arrives at the winery as pure as it can be, while the entire estate comes as close to true sustainability as is possible. A commitment to hands off winemaking: gravity flow, wild yeasts, wild malo, an avoidance of fining and filtration all help preserve the wine's expression of its terroir. The result is Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir which accurately express the authenticity and complexity of their unique vineyards. Felton Road is firmly established as one of the leading producers of Pinot Noir in the world and one of the most sustainable too.'
Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
