Farr Rising - Gamay - 2025

Deep, dark, and vibrant in the glass. The nose is intense — dark spice, a punch of salinity, savoury herbs and graphite. Beneath the assertive opening sits a perfumed musk and confectionary lift that hints at carbonic maceration. A second pass reveals brown spice — mace and clove — alongside ripe Christmas cherries. The palate delivers summer berries and cream, with a supple texture and generous weight that sets it apart from many examples of the grape yet remains true to its varietal character.
