Vineyard Notes

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. Clones include 114, 115, 777, 667 and MV6. Although Farrside and Sangreal are only 300 metres apart, the darker soils and cooler growing conditions at Farrside mean these grapes are picked 10–12 days later.

Winemaking

Fruit is hand-picked and sorted in the vineyard, then fermented in an open-top fermenter. Between 40–50% of the fruit is destemmed, followed by a four-day cold soak. Only natural yeast is used for fermentation, which takes roughly 12 days. Pigeage (grape-stomping) is carried out two to three times a day depending on extraction requirements.

Ageing

After fermentation, the wine is transferred by gravity into Allier French oak, with 50–60% new barrels. It is racked by gas after secondary fermentation and again at 18 months before bottling.

Producer Tasting Notes

Producer notes describe Farrside Pinot Noir as showing more masculinity, structure and savoury components. Deep meaty, spicy and mineral flavours continue to evolve. A balanced array of red and black fruits. Fresh and edgy with firm yet delicate tannins and a long-textured finish.

About the Winery
