The initials stand for Robyn Pamela, and the wine honours Robyn Farr, the family matriarch, for her support across Gary Farr's long career and her hands-on work in both the vineyard and the winery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit comes from the close-planted Cote Vineyard, a set of north, north-east and east facing hillside slopes with soils ranging from red-brown buckshot loam with plenty of clay to black volcanic soil laced with limestone. Grapes are hand-picked and sorted in the vineyard, partly destemmed and cold soaked, then fermented with natural yeast in open-top fermenters with regular foot treading. The wine matures in Allier oak barrels, a good share of them new, for around 18 months before bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn style it is the prettier, more perfumed side of the By Farr Pinot range, with generous fruit, a smooth and calm feel across the palate and fine, detailed tannins carrying the length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVintages may vary.

The name translates loosely as \"very cosy\", a nod to the vineyard's dense planting of around 7,300 vines per hectare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlanted in 2001, the vineyard rises above the family's other sites and spans three slopes: black volcanic soil over limestone, quartz gravel with red ironstone, and grey sandy loam threaded with ironstone. It is planted to a mix of Pinot Noir clones (113, 114, 115, 667, 777 and MV6), and the tight spacing and demanding soils make the vines work hard, giving concentrated fruit with the structure to age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine is fermented with whole bunches in an oak fermenter and matured in new French oak from Allier. It is a darker, more powerful style than its sibling RP, with spicy fruit, plum and forest-floor notes, a mineral edge, lively acidity and a long, seamless finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVintages may vary.

It is grown on the family's estate in the Moorabool Valley near Bannockburn, Victoria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit comes from close-planted hillside slopes, or côtes, facing north, north-east and east. The north côte has red-brown loam with buckshot stones and a high clay content, while the east côte combines black volcanic soil and fragmented limestone with grey buckshot loam, and is the first to be picked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrapes are hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed, with the juice and its solids going to barrel, half of them new French oak. Fermentation is natural and slow at cool temperatures, followed by light stirring to start malolactic fermentation, then the wine is racked, fined, lightly filtered and bottled around 11 months after harvest. The result is smooth and calm across the palate, with textured fruit and a mineral thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVintages may vary.
