Sense of Place: High-density wine-growing at Elanto Vineyard

ok so I have officially geeked out over this hahaha. Old mate Joel Pizzini is OBSESSED with soil too and honestly I could listen to him all day long about this. This is a gorgeous video. More please!

Thanks for such an insightful and informative video. I believe By Farr do this kind of densely planted block with their Tout Pret bottling, an absolutely amazing bottle that is very similar to Burgundy Pinot

Pleasure, Paul - thank you for watching and leaving a comment. Yes, indeed - though it differs in its site architecture, the Farr family’s Tout Près block is indeed close planted and therefore high density. The Farrs’ knowledge (and sage adaptation) in this area goes back a very long way, as Gary was the winemaker at Bannockburn, whose Serré vineyard (still turning out excellent wines) is the first of its kind. By Farr has done further close-planting in its Côte Vineyard, where the family’s RP Pinot Noir and GC Chardonnay come from. They are exceptional wines - a couple of those GCs among my favourite ever glasses of Australian Chardonnay.
