By Farr RP Pinot Noir 2024

‘The RP Pinot Noir (RP – Robyn Pamela) is in recognition of the matriarch. It is not only the support and goffering that Robyn has endured for Gary’s 40 year career. She has been in the vineyard and planted the first vines, driven the tractors, filled barrels and pigeaged at midnight. If we are ever a man down Robyn has always been the first one we have called to fill the void no matter the job, no matter the time of day. You can always count on mum.

The fruit for this wine is sourced from the Cote Vineyard as is the GC Chardonnay. A close planted / high density planting of Pinot Noir on a exposed cote. These hillsides facing North, North East and East will be the backbone of the Farr dynasty for decades to come.

TASTING NOTE – ‘Darker silkier more wood and cocoa.  The RP is concentrated and polished, with talcum powder like tannins.  It’s seamless and powerful.  The RP is beautifully scented with ripe fruits and warm spice and a texture like satin.  The wine opens up beautifully, and by that, I mean it shows more perfume, and more sour cherry and freshness as the wine sits in the decanter.  I tasted this over about 30 hours and the wine just keeps showing another facet.’  Ben Knight for Nick Farr.
