2025 Farr Rising Saignee Rose

One of Australia's most impressive rosé, Farr Rising produce their dry and complex example from Pinot Noir. The freshly picked grapes are left to macerate in tank for two to three hours before bleeding the free run juice to be used for this rosé. Natural fermentation then occurs in four to five year old barrels before maturing for 10 months.

Other Reviews....
Cherry, strawberry, almond, roses and hibiscus, a little spice and orange peel, and a slight lift. It’s juicy and red fruited, maybe something of a peach tea thing here, an almond creaminess to it, a light blood orange tang, fine powdery texture, with a savoury yet fleshy finish of excellent length. It’s a bolder style in a way, but has complexity and character to burn. Delightful. A rosé made with intent. A toss up between 94 and 95 points. Drink 2025-2029+.
