The vines were planted in 2001 and run east-west to protect the fruit from overexposure to the sun. The clones are a mixture of 114, 115, 777, 667 and MV6. Even though the Farrside and Sangreal vineyards are only 300 metres apart, the darker soils and cooler growing conditions of the Farrside vineyard mean these grapes are picked 10 to 12 days after all others and produce a more masculine and edgy wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit is hand-picked and sorted in the vineyard, then fermented in an open-top fermenter. Between 40 to 50 per cent of the fruit is stemmed and then cold soaked for four days. Only natural yeast is used for fermentation, which takes roughly 12 days. Grape-stomping (pigeage) occurs two to three times a day depending on extraction requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAgeing\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine is placed in 50–60% new Allier barrels by gravity. It is racked by gas after secondary fermentation, then again at 18 months before bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProducer Tasting Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach vintage of Farrside pinot noir exhibits more masculinity, structure and savoury components, while deep meaty, spicy and mineral flavours also continue to evolve. A balanced array of red and black fruits, fresh and edgy with substantial character. Firm yet delicate with a long-textured finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52736097190251,"sku":"SK85783454","price":225.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/2019_By_Farr_Farrside_Pinot_Noir_750ml.png?v=1780390098","url":"https:\/\/kingsburycellars.com.au\/products\/2012-by-farr-farrside-pinot-noir-750ml","provider":"Kingsbury Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
