An ethereal Pinot. Herbal and ashen, with smoky reduction notes and a hint of tobacco. Good structure and flow, mineral and nervy, with red berries and a dark cherry core. From the Irrewarra vineyard planted in 2001 and lovingingly tended and dry grown by the Calvert family in nearby Colac. The grapes live alongside the cows who haven't cottoned on to how delicious the grapes are.

The climate at Irrewarra vineyards are distinct from the older sites in the By Farr range, with higher rainfall and free-draining soils. This results in a cooler style By Farr, showing great fruit expression with a deceptively long and mineral palate. There's plenty of sweet and sour cherries, earth, spice and a lovely elegant structure.
