Log in / Sign up By Farr RP Cote Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019
Gary Farr is one of the most iconic winemakers in Victoria, or indeed, the country. He was responsible for taking Bannockburn in Geelong to the startling heights it reached as one of the benchmark producers of Burgundian varieties in the country. His own label, By Farr, is quite simply one of Australia's finest producers.
The RP Pinot Noir (RP – Robyn Pamela) is in recognition of the matriarch. It is not only the support and goffering that Robyn has endured for Gary’s 40-year career. She has been in the vineyard and planted the first vines, driven the tractors, filled barrels, and pigeaged at midnight. If we are ever a man down Robyn has always been the first one we have called to fill the void no matter the job, no matter the time of day. You can always count on mum.
The fruit for this wine is sourced from the Cote Vineyard as is the GC Chardonnay. A close planted / high-density planting of Pinot Noir on an exposed cote. These hillsides facing North, North East, and East will be the backbone of the Farr dynasty for decades to come.
Truffled mushroom pasta dishes, duck as well as Chicken and Turkey
This wine is pretty and so very perfumed. The cote sites simply produce amazing smoothness and calmness that stretches the length of the palate as with the GC. An abundance of fruit leads to fine and detailed tannin structure. They have been playing with the fruit from these vineyards for more than 8 years, fine-tuning the style of wine that these vineyards are producing.
