2023 Irrewarra Pinot Noir 750ml

A Western Victorian pinot exuberating fruit-driven power by esteemed winemaker Nick Farr. 

The fruit comes from an unirrigated plot planted in 2001 by the Calvert family, nestled in a climate quite different to the other vineyards used in the By Farr range. Nick notes the following of this vintage:

"Spice grip and char then softness, then more tart bright sinewy notes. The nose is petals and perfume, then darker, richer barrel notes. It has a really lovely aroma. Actually, calling it lovely diminishes it somewhat, this is unique, complex and entirely appealing for those looking for something more from a glass of Pinot Noir. There is a different oak profile maybe, something smokier, something more angular. It really works with this wine, even if I’m wrong about the new oak regime. Whatever it is, be it new or just more present, adds a layer to this wine. The Irrewarra only improves with each vintage, it seems, and this is no different. I sat with this for a little while and those spice notes just kept delivering, and each sip or sniff offered something new and delicious."
