[SOLD-OUT] By Farr Tout Pres Pinot Noir 2013

Wine Front 95 points!
“From a close-planted vineyard. 100% whole bunches. “Made by the Farr family”, which is an excellent way to put it. Three words: savoury, seamless and satisfying. This sits in a beautiful spot. Crushes of dried spices, herb notes, plenty of cherry-berry, almost a pepperiness. Earth. It is what it is, and that’s a very good thing. Tannin is dry, earthen, almost chalky, almost dusty. Savouriness is the lingering impression, but it’s not to the point where it’s in-your-face. Length is excellent, as you’d expect.”
Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front, 2016

"The bouquet fills the glass with spicy fruit, mineral elements and a hint of integrated French oak, with the darkness and essence of the Moorabool Valley true expressions of site. This wine exhibits primary and secondary flavours, which strengthen the overall integration for a seamless finish. It is a tightly packed combination of plums and undergrowth with an edgy acidity."

"Ask Burgundians what their utter and sole obsession with Pinot Noir is about and they will tell you no other red grape can express terroir with the same nuance. In Australia, the By Farr's Pinot Noir range of wines, with their notable differences, demonstrate this philosophy perfectly. This week it is By Farr's Tout Pres Pinot Noir 2013 that we've selected as our Wine of the Week.

"Tout Pres" means "very cosy", referring to the densely-planted vineyard from which it comes. The grapes grow on hardworking vines which compete for nutrient, therefore producing lower yields and more intense fruit. Masculine, structured and with a profile intense enough to soak up 100% new French Oak, this Pinot Noir is powerful but shows By Farr's delicate touch."
