By Farr Pinot Noir Sangreal 2020

Sangreal is the estate's founding vineyard, planted in 1994 on a north-facing slope of bluestone and limestone with red ironstone at the surface — soil unlike anything else on the property. This is the block Gary planted first, straight off the back of his Burgundy apprenticeship, and it remains the clearest expression of that Dujac-trained instinct: whole-bunch, native-yeast winemaking built entirely around what the site gives you. Full sun exposure and north-south row orientation produce the most perfumed, open and seductive of the four single-vineyard Pinots, with silky texture and a long, elegant finish. It's the first vineyard picked each vintage and remains the natural entry point for guests discovering By Farr for the first time.
