'The 2025 Farr Rising Saignee returns with it’s familiar salmon pink hue and complex oak characteristics. Playful on the nose with ripe tropical fruit, and a rounded nutty aroma to draw you back in. The palate is both soft and refreshing, to be enjoyed equally with food or without. The wine is ready to be enjoyed now or cellared to develop in years to come.
 Saignee, technically meaning “to bleed game meat or poultry”, refers to the way we ‘bleed’ juice for this wine. We allow the Farr Rising pinot noir fruit to sit in tank for 2-3 hours before bleeding the free-run juice at a suitable colour for rosé production. This process concentrates the pinot ferment, but we also produce a barrel-fermented rosé. Natural barrel fermentation at cool temperatures is followed by full malolactic fermentation. The wine is placed in four- and five-year-old barrels for 10 months before being filtered and bottled.' - Ben Knight.
