2009 By Farr Sangreal Pinot Noir 750ml

Slight Label Damage Awards & Ratings Jancis Robinson: 16.5/20 The Wine Front: 95/100 CellarTracker: 92/100 About This Wine The Sangreal vineyard was planted in 1994 and sits on a north-facing slope. The soil is a mix of bluestone and limestone with red ironstone on the surface, differing from the estate’s other vineyards, which are mainly black volcanic soil. The vine rows run north–south, receiving full sun throughout the day. Clones 114 and 115—believed to have mutated over time within this micro-site—are used exclusively for Sangreal. This is always the first vineyard harvested each season. Winemaking follows a consistent approach every year: 70% whole bunch Fermented in a five-tonne oak barrel with open-top fermenter Four-day cold soak Natural fermentation lasting 7–9 days Pressed when the cap falls Aged in 70% new oak Racked once after malolactic fermentation Bottled unfined and unfiltered Total élevage: 18 months Producer Tasting Notes Sangreal is known for its seductive and perfumed profile, with seamless balance and strong site expression. Red fruit, whole bunch character, acidity and oak integrate into a refined and harmonious expression of the vineyard and vintage.
