Farr Rising Saignee Rose 2021

Description

Saignee, technically meaning to bleed game meat or poultry”, refers to the way the team at Farr Rising ‘bleed’ juice for this wine. They allow the Farr Rising pinot noir fruit to sit in tank for two to three hours before bleeding free-run juice at a suitable colour for rose production. This process concentrates the pinot ferment, but they also produce a barrel-fermented rose. Natural barrel fermentation at cool temperatures is followed by full malolacitc fermentation. The wine is then placed in four- and five-year-old barrels for 10 months before being filtered and bottled. Farr Rising likes to produce a very dry style of rose, but with flavour and varietal sweetness. It has a salmon-pink hue, is perfumed with fruit and a lovely savoury, earthy palate, and has a long, dry structured finish. This is the perfect wine to have with food.
