About the Wine

A lovely perfumed, yet subtle expression of viognier. Fresh peach and apricot flavours as a young wine, which we believe will intensify over time. The palate is restrained, luscious and shows a ginger-flavoured freshness with underlying power and lingering aftertaste. This wine benefits beautifully from 12 months of bottle ageing, as the acid softens.

Viognier is foot stomped and left for two or more hours on its skins to extract the phenols, flavour and texture. The fruit is then pressed, cooled and put straight into barrel with all solids for a natural fermentation. Gentle stirring during the end of autumn encourages malolactic fermentation, which softens the finish by converting the tart malic acid to lactic acid. The wine is then racked, fined and filtered. It is ready to be bottled 11 months after harvest.

Review

The ‘24 Viognier is an ultimate expression of oxidative winemaking, surrounded by bright acidity and savoury qualities. The wine has weight but think structure and refinement with a velvet touch. Year in year out, the Viognier by Farr blows the stereotypes of the variety to pieces, with it’s beautiful balance of peach, green ginger spice, chalk, flint and saline finish. Fast becoming another cult Farr wine. - BEN KNIGHT, CRITIC
