A powerhouse of a wine from one of Victoria's most iconic producers.

Made by Nick Farr for his Farr Rising label, this wine was made from Gamay that was grafted onto own rooted cabernet vines, which were planted in 1999.

The nose of the gamay is fruitful at first, before opening up to reveal earthy and gamey notes. The palate is full of red berry fruits with savoury undertones. The structure is long, earthy and lingering. With vibrant acidy and defined tannins, this wine is full of flavour.

Beautifully packaged and delivered across Sydney Metro.

Description

Farr Rising Gamay 2021

They say:

The gamay was grafted onto own rooted cabernet vines, which were planted in 1999.

The soil is black cracking clay soil, with a mixture of submerged volcanic pebbles and boulders at one end, and a more friable and slightly more vigorous chocolate-coloured soil at the other. The first fruit was picked during the 2014 vintage.

The grapes are hand-picked and sorted in the vineyard, then placed in the tank as whole bunches. The tank is sealed and left for 10 days to ferment naturally and release carbonic fruit aromas.

The fruit is foot stomped, pressed on days 11 and 12, and then placed in five-year-old barrels to finish the fermentation process. The wine is bottled eight months later.

The nose of the gamay is fruitful at first before opening up to reveal berry flavours with earthy and gamey notes.

The palate is full of red berry fruits with savoury undertones. The structure is long, earthy and lingering. With vibrant acidy and defined tannins, this wine is full of flavour.

About By Farr

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.
