Each year the same descriptive notes come to mind for Sangreal by Farr Pinot Noir: seductive, perfumed, seamless balance and moreish. It is a site that wavers very little in more difficult vintages and excels in the great onesthis is the backbone of By Farr wines. The alluring characters of this vineyard, combined with red fruits, whole bunch, acidity and oak, have produced a beautifully interwoven expression of site and vintage. Thats what its all about. Reviews \”The vineyard was planted in \’94 to clones 114 and 115, believed to have mutated into a single \’Sangreal\’ clone. Always made with 50-70% whole bunches, and 60-70% new oak maturation for 18 months. While the power of the wine is typical Farr, this vintage bestows a measure of linearity, a sinuous line to the palate that links and loops around the complex flavours of forest floor/spice and wild strawberry.\” 97 Points & Special Value Star – James Halliday Wine Companion, Drink: To 2035
