Winery notes (2025 Vintage)
"MacMuir always has a distinctive nose: darker fruits, with leaf hints and a touch of forest floor. On the palate there is the immediate impact of MacMuir muscle, a solid authority rather than aggression, eventually revealing its subdued powerful core. While there is copious tannin, it is wonderfully fine, adding a note of suavity to what might otherwise be an expression of strength. An impeccable finish, long and pure."

Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, November 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"I have always liked and engaged with this style from the FR stable. Blair and the vineyard team have captured the fragrances of place with a stony clay soil baseline, layered with the savoury dried herb voice of the region and surrounding hillsides framing a core red berry flavours – a youthful expression – boysenberry and baked raspberry, some dark cherry skin ideas then barrel spices and smoke. Tasted over 3 days this wine remains young on each tasting, the tannins and acid line deliver a taut and focused mouthfeel, there’s polish, but also energy and power. Delicious, bright, youthful and requires cellar time to showcase its pinnacle moments of time and place. Best drinking from 2029 through 2038+."

94/100 Erin Larkin, RobertParker.com, February 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"The 2023 MacMuir Pinot Noir leads with cocoa powder and pomegranate, dried herbs and caper brine. The palate offers all of this and more, framed by fine, chalky tannins and a wash of juicy acidity that feels watercolor-like and impressionist in the mouth. I like this wine very much, and the slightly lighter frame this year works well for it. It is chewy and good, with asphalt and petrichor through the finish."

93/100 Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, October 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"Sage and stuffing, cherry and raspberry, kind of minty and squishy in red fruit and cherry, a dusty and grainy grip to tannin, quite some ripe orange tang to acidity, bacon and smoked things, with a finish of good length. Nice wine. Bacon bones is a thing here, but lots of character too."

Felton Road Wines epitomises the harmony of organic and biodynamic viticulture with a commitment to quality and sustainability. The Felton Road Pinot Noir Bannockburn showcases their dedication to crafting exceptional wines. This vintage reveals a nose of dark roses and violets, offering a transparent and ethereal character. On the palate, it presents savoury notes with lovely fruits and no hint of New World sweetness. The tannins are firm but not harsh, complemented by subtle herbal tones that add freshness and intrigue. It’s a classic expression from their four Bannockburn vineyards.

Similarly, Felton Road's Chardonnay Bannockburn stands out with its pure grapefruit zest, citrus, and stonefruit kernel. The palate balances acid effortlessly, with a clean profile and a pleasing absence of oak, making it a benchmark Chardonnay.

Felton Road's Riesling Bannockburn impresses with brooding aromas of wet stones and stonefruits. It opens with a burst of sweetness tempered by intense stonefruit flavours and crisp acidity, reflecting the uniqueness of their Bannockburn terroir.

Felton Road’s meticulous approach begins with site selection and organic practices. Their four vineyards in Bannockburn, managed with precision and hand care, contribute to wines that express their terroir authentically. The gravity-flow winery and non-interventionalist winemaking methods preserve the true character of each varietal, making their wines both approachable and age-worthy.
