A fistful of intensity and nervousness. This has that bright red fruit expression I expect from somewhere cold, like Colac. Bristling with red cherry, cola like spice and rose hips. The acidity is peppy and in your face without being a distraction. This wine is not just balanced, but heightened, seemingly under tension, in a good, exciting way. A lovely fragrant Pinot Noir, with brilliance, and excitement that is incredibly pleasing.
By Farr Tasting Notes:
Sit back and take in the aromas from a glass of this pinot as you think about sitting at the top of the vineyard surrounded by cows, water, grass and all things Western District farming. Sweat and sour cherries, earth, spice and a lovely elegant structure.
Irrewarra Site Overview:
The soils across the slope of the site are a mixture of grey sandy clay loams at the south end to dark brown loams with fragments of buckshot and quartz gravels towards the north. All with underlying brown to yellow clays.
Overall the soils remain very moist throughout the year because of the clay based soil profile and annual rainfall of 885mm, resulting in the very attractive damp earthiness character in the fruit and wine.
It is a site that truly reflects the complexities and varietal characters of the vines that are planted in this cool climate region.
