We like to produce a very dry style of rosé, but with flavour and varietal sweetness... This is the perfect wine to have with food.

About the Wine
The Farr Rising Saignée is simply beautiful, and perfect for those who like a little more complexity in their Rosé wines.
The juice is 'bled' from the Farr's estate-grown Pinot Noir fruit after two-three hours on skins. So, the base for this wine is some of the most revered Pinot fruit in the country - a very good place to start. The juice is then barrel fermented and goes through malo to produce a finished wine that is at once delicate but full flavoured.
It's complex and food-friendly, but gluggable at the same time. Typical class from Nick Farr here - a tip top Rosé.
About By Farr / Farr Rising
Gary Farr is one of the most iconic winemakers in Victoria, or indeed, the country. He was responsible for taking Bannockburn in Geelong to the startling heights it reached as one of the benchmark producers of Burgundian varieties in the country. His own label, By Farr, is quite simply one of Australia's finest producers.
The Farr vineyards are based in the Moorabool Valley in Geelong, with a wide array of ancient soils resulting in small yields of incredibly intensely flavoured Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Shiraz and Viognier. With Gary's son Nick now making the wines, as well as taking his own Farr Rising label to monumental heights, this is a project set to dominate Geelong wine for years to come.
If you want to see one of the country's great winemaking families at work, anything by the Farrs will be one of the best examples of its kind in the country. Sheer class, guaranteed.
