Farrside vineyard is a northeast-facing slope consisting of limestone topped with black volcanic soil. This sees about 60% new oak for 18 months. Superbly complex and lifted aromatically. Green pea, bramble, savoury spice, game meat and rhubarb, freshened by macerated strawberry. A broody palate nevertheless with lovely lift and glide and a cooling mineral feel. Cherry, earth, and forest floor are wrapped up in tangy acid and fine, persistent tannins to an earthy close. At once elegant and brooding. A brilliant wine. Drinking window: 2026-2031. Score - 95.
