It lies on a north-facing slope, and the red volcanic soil has a base of limestone with deep-set sandstone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-16 body-text\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase\"\u003eVINIFICATION\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll fruit is hand-picked from the VSP trellising, with 20 per cent left as whole bunches in the fermentation. Most years we co-ferment between 2 and 4 per cent viognier with the shiraz, the date determining whether or not the former is co-fermented and bled back. It is a natural fermentation, with the fruit remaining in the tank for 19 days before pressing. Shiraz sees 18 months in French oak, 20 per cent being new, and is bottled under vacuum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-16 body-text\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase\"\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA powerful nose, with the depth and complexity of cool-climate shiraz. This wine is spiced with pepper and mineral elements, leaning towards earthy. The co-fermented viognier adds a little richness to both the bouquet and palate, which has a very pleasant sweetness to start, followed by intense fruit and earthy long tannins to complete the delicate structure and overall elegance of the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mb-0 note1\"\u003eCritic tasting note: (2016 vintage) \"Impressively complex with wet stony notes and dark berries, as well as a wealth of attractively fragrant spices, brambly plums, blackberries and black cherries. The glossy dark-fruited palate is laced with spicy oak and built on layers of fine, ethereal tannins. Drink or hold. This will age beautifully.\" -\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060231618795,"sku":"SK69016e75c836a","price":150.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/1022\/0779\/files\/By_Farr_Shiraz_750ml_fe8b7212-f8f5-44f7-a2a7-202894b17243.jpg?v=1763079504","url":"https:\/\/lionscellar.com.au\/products\/2016-by-farr-shiraz-750ml","provider":"Lion's Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
