Log in / Sign up by Farr Farrside Pinot Noir 2020
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. The clones are a mixture of 114, 115, 777, 667, and MV6. Even though the Farrside and Sangreal vineyards are only 300 metres apart, the darker soils and cooler growing conditions of the Farrside vineyard means these grapes are picked 10 to 12 days after all others and produce a more masculine and edgy wine.
Each vintage of Farrside pinot noir exhibits more masculinity, structure, and savoury components, while deep meaty, spicy, and mineral flavours also continue to evolve. A balanced array of red and black fruits, Farrside pinot noir is fresh and edgy with bucketloads of character. This is a firm yet delicate wine with a long-textured finish.
