2024 Farr Rising Gamay

Fresh and juicy yet savoury with a strong whole bunch character flowing through it.

Grafted onto Cabernet vines, with the first vintage in 2014, the vines are grown on a mixture of submerged volcanic pebbles and cracking clay soil. After undergoing carbonic maceration in a sealed tank for 10 days, the must is pressed to 5-year-old barrels and bottled 8 months later.
Opaque dark red black tinged colour with a dark purple red hue. Powerfully scented with aromas of sour cherries, strawberry and dark cherries carrying a strong whole bunch influence of dried clove and wild herbs. Ensuing are some earthy incense and spiced dried meat like notes. Generously concentrated yet light on its feet, savoury sour to dark cherry, strawberry, brambly rhubarb like characters, dried clove, earthy incense and spicy smoked meats are lent a fresh feel by bright acidity. Polished yet structured tannins with a long vibrant spicy clove infused finish that has a juicy feel.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.
