Pinot Noir RP Côte Vineyard, Geelong IG, by Farr - 2022

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

A masterful Pinot Noir that combines intensity, depth and refinement. The nose is complex, with juicy black cherry, wild raspberry, violet, orange peel, smoky and mineral notes. On the palate, the balance is superb: a full attack, silky texture and fine, structured tannins. The natural freshness of the vintage carries a dense but elegant structure with great length. The finish is persistent and salty, with hints of sweet spices and macerated red fruits. A very great Pinot Noir, both powerful and airy, made for ageing.

Technique

Viticulture

The fruit for this wine is sourced from the Cote Vineyard. A close planted / high density planting of Pinot Noir on a exposed cote. These hillsides face North, North East and East.

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 destemmed and then cold soaked for four days. Only natural yeast is used for the fermentation process, which takes roughly 19 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.
