Farr Rising Pinot Noir 2024
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.
TASTING NOTE – ‘Ripe, generous, and rounded, this Pinot Noir delivers a depth and intensity regularly seen from this site. Dark spice and ripe black fruits take centre stage — no herbal edges, just a confident savoury expression. It’s powerful yet entirely seductive, in the way only Pinot Noir can be. That allure comes from balance: though this is a big wine, it remains perfumed and fresh, never overbearing.’ The Farr Team.
