Farrside By Farr Pinot Noir 2022
Each vintage of Farrside pinot noir exhibits more masculinity, structure and savoury components, while deep meaty, spicy and mineral flavours also continue to evolve.
A balanced array of red and black fruits, Farrside pinot noir is fresh and edgy with bucketloads of character. This is a firm yet delicate wine with a long-textured finish.
By Farr and Farr Rising continue to be separate brands from distinct vineyards. We make pinot noir, chardonnay, shiraz and viognier; the vineyards are in conversion to organic.
There are 6 different soils that are spread across the Farr property, with 2 main types: rich, friable red and black volcanic loam; and limestone, which dominates the loam in some areas.
The other soils are quartz gravel through a red volcanic soil, ironstone (buckshot) in grey sandy loam with a heavy clay base, sandstone base and volcanic lava. The soil’s good drainage and low fertility are crucial in ensuring small yields of intensely flavoured fruit.
