"The fruit is hand harvested, fermented in an open-top fermenter with 60-70% destemmed. Over time, the site has shown that it can certainly stand up to its bigger brothers.
In my opinion, I often wonder when the concept of “Farr Rising” will be considered “risen” ....Ripe, generous, and round in the mouth. This offers weight and intensity you rarely see from this grape. Spice, dark spice, not herbal at all and black ripe fruits all on full show. It’s a powerhouse and entirely seductive, in a way that only Pinot Noir can be. A part of that ability to entice and deliver at the same time, comes down to balance. This is a big Pinot Noir, but it’s still perfumed and has freshness that doesn’t dominate. It’s utterly impressive for a wine that is considered - on the rise!"
