The Farawell Vineyard

The Farawell Vineyard - Established in 1996

This is the original vineyard, established by Bob and Barbara Farrawell in 1996 with the aim of producing sparkling wine. Prior to 2013 all fruit from this cool climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir was supplied to ShadowFax for their Macedon table wines.

Chardonnay
1.6 Acres
Clones: I10V1, I10V3, I10V5

On the side of an old volcanic eruption, this vineyard has a unique character. The vines are planted on a north to north east aspect. The grey kandosols bring out strong minerality in the wine and these soils are naturally prohibitory of excessive vigour.

Pinot Noir
2.78 acres
Clones: D5V12, Pommard, 115 & MV6
This south facing slope is on a completely different soil line to the Chardonnay. Predominantly yellow clay rich kandosols these soils provide a nutrient rich base for the vines to grow in. D5V12 is a vine known for its upright growing habit and generous yield. An early season hedging regime encourages lateral growth and canopy thickness and all fruit is table sorted to maximize fruit consistency. The wines from this block are floral, acid driven, punchy and have a thin, silky tannin structure. MV6 has smallish compact bunches, and produces a structured wine with plenty of dark fruit.
