[SOLD-OUT] By Farr Tout Pres Pinot Noir 2021

 

**Highly limited. 3 per customer**

 

"In the glass a big hit of amaro like dark fruit and stemmy spice, a real dark shade of cherry and char. The lift comes from the acidity and stems and it works as a counterpoint to the fruit. It’s savoury and layered, shifting from beguiling and seductive to edgy and angsty.

Gunsmoke, maybe Russian caravan tea, albeit a subtle version or a memory of it, dry earth, charred wood, cornichon, black bean and mushroom. You can almost taste the struggle of these tightly packed little vines that overlook the moorabool valley. As your olfactory bits acclimatize, the second sniff is all fruit and something like ginger; sweet but with purpose. Warm spices like mace and cardamom dominate and rhubarb, cherry and chinotto round it out. I drink lots of wine in my day job, and perhaps my years are making me jaded, but this type of expression, this individual and importantly, replicative level of complexity is unmatched." - Ben Knight

 

"An amazingly challenging yet rewarding vintage has been produced from the 2021 vintage.

Tout Pres is a densely planted vineyard on the estate—hence its name, which translates as “very cosy”. This land is a challenge to farm, but well worth the effort. The soils and close competition force the vines to work hard, with the result being fruit that is lush but masculine, and which provides the coveted structure found only in the most age-worthy wines." - By Farr
