Description
Rob Mann is very committed to this variety and is making a statement with this straight Mourvedre under the Farvie range. It's an exciting modern offering of the variety that demands attention.
The fruit was hand-picked from small section of estate vines and fermented as 66% whole bunches for extra bright, spicy aromatics and texture. A savoury red full of structured tannins holding a core of red and blue fruits dusted with spice. This is an absolute benchmark for Mourvedre wines - almost peerless in Australia.
Extremely limited quantities produced - if you want to try the Farvie Mourvedre you better swoop quickly.

“Oh yes, I love this wine. It has a beautiful perfume and brightness evident on the nose and the palate... Slightly more supple and revealing than the grenache and less open and opulent than the syrah.”

“A brooding beauty, a masterclass in allowing mourvèdre to tread the tightrope between the sacred and the profane.”

"Earthy, pure fruit wrapped in finely milled tannins, with captivating aromas of wet garden roses, petrichor, and summer berries. Graceful, elegant, and built for aging."

“Farvie Mourvèdre is more expansive, and it is immediately convivial. This variety’s softer impact and more open-armed expression lull you into a false sense of security before the trademark Farvie minerality attacks without warning or mercy... It is stunning…”
