2020 By Farr RP Pinot Noir Cote Vineyard, Geelong, Australia
$90.00
The RP Pinot Noir (RP – Robyn Pamela) is in recognition of the matriarch. It is not only the support and goffering that Robyn has endured for Gary’s 40 year career. She has been in the vineyard and planted the first vines, driven the tractors, filled barrels and pigeaged at midnight. Between 40 to 50% destemmed, aged in 50% new Allier oak.
Pinot fruit is hand-picked and sorted in the vineyard, then fermented in an open-top fermenter. @0-50% will be destemmed with a cold soak for @4days. natural yeasts only. Over the 12 days ferment, pigeage 2-3times a day to find correct extraction. 50-100% new french oak, as each cuvee can absorb varying amount according to each vineyard profile.. All wine is gravity fed to the barrels, then racked by gas after secondary fermentation, then again at 18 months to be bottled.
