By Farr Farrside Pinot Noir 2021

Drink it now or cellar for up to 15 years. No need to decant, but best to open it half an hour before service.

Founded in 1994 by Gary and Robyn Farr, the renowned Australian winery By Farr is located in the Geelong wine region of New South Wales and is now run by Gary and Robyn's son, Nick. The winery, which enjoys a spectacular landscape with breathtaking views, produces handcrafted wines using sustainable and traditional techniques.

The Pinot Noir grapes are selected from the Farrside vineyard, located on a slope that enjoys a northeast exposure and a cool and breezy climate that favors slow and homogeneous ripening. The vines, planted in 2001, are rooted in a land of volcanic origin, with a calcareous substrate. After manual harvesting, fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts. The finished wine then rests for 18 months in French oak barrels (50% new).

By Farr Farrside Pinot Noir has a clear and brilliant color with garnet red tones and a broad and fragrant aromatic profile. On the nose, it reveals notes of red currant, cherries and forest berries, sweet spices, and a light earthy hint. On the palate, it is fresh and balanced, mineral and elegant. It is fleshy, lively, and fruity with a balanced acidity and velvety tannins. The finish is long and structured. Try it with duck breast or roast turkey.
