[SOLD-OUT] Philippa Farr Mornington Pinot Noir 2020

 

"This Mornington Peninsula vineyard has been a consistent producer of neat small bunches, with this being the fifth vintage of Philippa Farr from the same site, off mature vines. Once again, it is a blend of all three clone 115, MV6 and 114. The wines show persistent forest floor and savoury aromas while being a delicate Pinot Noir.
The vineyard is well protected and a consistently delivering southeast-facing slope, made up of rich red loam over course gravel.
Wild ferments, with 25-30% whole bunches to aid in the wine’s structure and complexity. The slow take-off of the wild ferment allows the wine to sit on skins for close to three weeks. The wine is then pressed off to 30% new oak and racked twice off lees over an 18-month period in barrel. It then goes to bottle where it’s allowed to settle.
The intense savoury, earthy, forest floor aromas lure you into a pretty, delicate and engaging Pinot Noir. The palate delivers fine tannins with toasty oak, smooth minerality and a fresh, fine-acid finish." - Philippa Farr
