Pinot Noir Farrside, Geelong IG, by Farr - 2022

Provenance: Australia
Appellation: Australie
Grape variety(ies): Pinot noir
Alcohol degree: 13.5%

An Australian Pinot Noir of remarkable precision, full of finesse and depth. The nose opens with complex aromas of morello cherry, wild raspberry, dried rose petal, black tea and undergrowth, with a mineral touch reminiscent of flint. On the palate, the balance is superb: silky texture, very fine tannins and vibrant acidity that gives it momentum and energy. The finish is long and airy, with hints of red fruit and sweet spices. A great Pinot from a cool climate, racy and elegant, which rivals the finest Burgundies without hesitation.

Technique

Viticulture

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.

Oenology

The fruit is hand-picked and sorted in the vineyard, then fermented in an open-top fermenter. Between 40 to 50 per cent of the fruit will be stemmed and then cold soaked for four days. Only the natural yeast are used for the fermentation process, which takes roughly 12 days. Pigeage will occur two to three times a day, and the wine is then placed in 50 to 60 per cent new Allier barrels by gravity. It is racked by gas after secondary fermentation, then again at 18 months to be bottled.
