2023 Farr Rising Pinot Noir

Delicious red fruits adorn a light expansive palate that has an elegant feel.

Planted in 2001 to a mix of MV6, 114 and 115 clones, the Farr Rising Pinot Noir vineyard consists of grey sandy loam soils mixed with an ironstone pebble, leading to black volcanic soil over limestone at the bottom of the vineyard. While the By Farr wines see 60-100% whole bunches included, Farr Rising Pinot uses 30-40% depending on the vintage conditions. Each vintage these Farr Rising wines edge ever closer to their By Farr siblings.
