2022 By Farr 'RP' Pinot Noir
Halliday Wine Companion Top 100 #5 rated winery for 2023 - By Farr
Campbell Mattinson, Halliday Wine Companion
"Every year, in any list, Geelong's By Farr winery is one of the first picked. This is a single-minded producer if ever there was one; this is a producer interested in quality and nothing else."
'Ben Knight
Sleek, polished and precise. The ‘22 RP is a beautiful garnet colour in the glass. The nose is small red fruits; cranberry, raspberry, red cherry, wedded to loads of spice. Savoury notes of cornichon, a pretty note of red petals all tie in this wonderfully complex wine. Notes of Cola which sounds weird, but I guess it’s more like chinotto. Dried citrus peel, brown sugar and dark spices. It’s lifted, pretty and direct. It has a wonderful core of softness, scaffolded with a peppery spice, a warm note of beautifully subtle yet, perfumed oak, and terrific acidity.'
Tasting Notes from the Winemakers
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. Abundance of fruit leading to fine and detailed tannin structure. We 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. To Robyn, Cheers.
