By Farr RP Cote Vineyard Pinot Noir 2020
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.
They consist of the most suitable clones, rootstocks, trellising, and management you fill find for our landscape. This is our tribute to what ‘Gazza’ has achieved and provoked over 40 years not only in our region but for the chardonnay and pinot noir of Australia.
Pinot Noir pairs well with a variety of dishes, including grilled salmon, roast chicken, mushroom risotto, and creamy cheeses like Brie or Camembert.
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.
