Saignee, technically meaning “to bleed game meat or poultry”, refers to the way we ‘bleed’ juice for this wine. We allow the Farr Rising pinot noir fruit to sit in tank for two to three hours before bleeding free-run juice at a suitable colour for rosé production. This process concentrates the pinot ferment, but we also produce a barrel-fermented rosé. Natural barrel fermentation at cool temperatures is followed by full malolacitc fermentation. The wine is then placed in four- and five-year-old barrels for 10 months before being filtered and bottled.
By farr Sangreal Pinot Noir is a unique wine, the taste is earthy and lightly smokey. It has the scent of dark cherries and is recommended to be served with beef or poultry.
Tightly packed combination of plums and undergrowth with an edgy acidity - and one of the By Farr team's favourite drops.

A bright nose of savoury, earthy elements and lifted sour cherry notes leads to a palate made firm by ripe tannins and driving acidity.
Caledonia Australis pinot noir is full of flavor including sweet berries. It is well aged and has the nose of berries, serve with beef or veal.
The value-priced 2018 Pinot Noir Julia's Vineyard sports a ruby hue as well as an impressive nose of spiced cherries and framboise-like fruits, smoked earth, and toasted spices. Beautifully textured, medium-bodied, and elegant, it tastes as if it cost 2-3 times the price. - Jeb Dunnuck
Fairly typical of the best of this style from the Gippsland region with the added mineral complexities we attribute to our granite soils.

Elegant and expressive. An exciting revival of a classic style. This drop has the best characteristics of traditional California and old world Bordeaux. Intense fruit aromas of black cherry, plum accented by vanilla, caramel and rich toasted oak. Full on the palate with good concentration and considerable structure on the finish.
Intense red with garnet reflection. Clean and crisp nose, ripe plum and cranberry. Nice and thick, balanced and persistent.
This dry Italian red made from 100% Montepulciano from Abruzzo presents aromas of coffee and dark chocolate. Medium body, medium tannins, fully good. Enjoy with a hearty stew or BBQ.
Velvety tannins on the palate supported by good minerality, excellent structure - tasty and fresh!
Medium-bodied palate has a warm brambly feel, full of soft ripe fruit and a peristant spice to the finish.
