2022 By Farr RP Pinot Noir
Region: Geelong | Victoria
Variety: Pinot Noir
Country: Australia
Vintage: 2022
The Wine
The RP Pinot Noir is a tribute wine to Robyn Pamela Farr, the matriarch of the Farr family, for her tireless work over the 40+ years of building this great Australian wine dynasty.
The fruit comes from an exposed site on the Côte vineyard planted by Gary. The family says these sites, with the perfect clones, perfect aspect, and perfect viticultural techniques at play, will form the backbone of the family's wine production for generations to come.
Cellared says
It's a more ethereal expression of Pinot Noir than the muscular Tout Pres, but in terms of quality, you'd be splitting hairs to separate them.
This is a magnificent Pinot Noir which represents a lifetime in the pursuit of excellence from Gary Farr.

"Impressively deep, bright red-purple colour, in great shape for an Australian pinot of its age, then the bouquet arrives with a great complexity of smoked charcuterie, root vegetables, dark cherry and blackberry delivered with great intensity and volume. The concentration and depth are outstanding and it's all delivered with great elegance and refinement. The lightness of touch doesn't contradict the power or persistence. A spectacular pinot noir."
