Tasting Notes

A masterclass in "detailed austerity," a profile shaped by a remarkably cool and clear growing season that yielded wines of exceptional nerve and structural precision. In the glass, it presents a brilliant clarity, preceding an aromatic bouquet of citrus blossom, lemon zest, and white peach, elegantly framed by integrated French oak nuances of nougat and toasted spice.

The palate is defined by its tension; a high presence of malic acid provides a racy, "steely" backbone that carries the stone fruit flavours through a long, mineral-driven finish.

This is a sophisticated expression of the grey loam soils of the Farr estate, balancing a whisper of creaminess from barrel fermentation with the crystalline acidity characteristic of a top-tier cool-climate vintage.

While formal critical reviews are yet to be finalized, the exceptional clarity and detailed austerity of the 2025 vintage suggest a projected trajectory into the high mid-90s, consistent with the estate’s most celebrated releases.
