By Farr Farrside Pinot Noir 2017
The By Farr Farrside Pinot Noir 2017 is delicate but firm wine with a long, beautifully textured finish. This wine has a balance of black and red fruits with loads of character. Each vintage year after year displays more structure. The spicy mineral flavours continue to evolve.
The Farrside vineyard sits on a northeast-facing slope and consists of limestone topped with black volcanic soil. The vines were planted in 2001 and run east-west to protect the fruit from overexposure to the sun. Even though the Farrside and Sangreal vineyards are only 300 metres apart, the darker soils and cooler growing conditions of the Farrside vineyard mean these grapes are picked 10 to 12 days after all others and produce a more masculine and edgy wine.
