The Farr Rising range is always one we look out for; a range that showcases Nick Farr’s winemaking in a no compromise yet accessible manner. Farr Rising's Pinot Noir is regarded as one of Australia's finest examples and we recently welcomed very limited stocks of the 2025 vintage release.
The Farr Rising pinot vineyard was planted in 2001 using a large mixture of rootstocks, but only three clones - MV6, 114 and 115. It is a very exposed and hungry north-facing slope, consisting of grey sandy loam mixed with an ironstone pebble (buckshot) at the top. This leads into black volcanic soil over limestone at the bottom of the vineyard.
"Ripe, generous, and rounded, this Pinot Noir delivers a depth and intensity regularly seen from this site. Dark spice and ripe black fruits take centre stage - no herbal edges, just a confident savoury expression. It’s powerful yet entirely seductive, in the way only Pinot Noir can be. That allure comes from balance: though this is a big wine, it remains perfumed and fresh, never overbearing.”- Ben Knight.
