    Description

    "My vocabulary defaults to words like fragile and brittle, but it’s not right.  Neither sinew, nor high pitched do this wine justice. It’s like porcelain; translucent, strong, beautiful and pure.  Don’t make the same mistake I did and drink this straight from the fridge, it’s too cold. This wine is reluctant when it’s 4 degrees, a reluctance that becomes confidence as it warms slightly. The colour of the wine has the slightest green hint, otherwise bright and clean. The nose smells of chalky soil struck pebbles and a saline citrussy note too.  As it warms in the glass it seems to stand 2 inches taller, it shows ginger, apple, cinnamon and vanilla. The fruit is sleek and persistent. It’s neither jammy nor too restrained.  It tastes like a cool glass of Chardonnay in the white stoned town square in Meursault, but of course, it is more unique than that. Whilst Burgundy has hundreds of wineries, the little hamlet of Bannockburn, in the outskirts of Geelong might count as many as 5." - Ben Knight for Nick Farr 

    95 Points, Huon Hooke The Real Review "Bright, light yellow colour; slightly green/herbal aromas of celery stalk, a suggestion of parsnip/earthy root vegetable. The wine is tight and tense, firm and has excellent concentration and vitality, oak taking a back seat. The finish is very dry, mineral and lip-smacking. This is lovely now and will cellar well for many years" (Of the 2024)

    Description

    The GC Chardonnay (GC – Gary Charles) is attributed to all the knowledge Nick has been able to extract from his father Gary to create a close planted / high density planting of chardonnay on a exposed cote. These hillsides facing North, North East and East will be the backbone of the Farr dynasty for decades to come. They consist of the most suitable clones, rootstocks, trellising and management you will find for the landscape. This is a tribute to what ‘Gazza’ Farr has achieved and provoked over 40 years not only in the region but for chardonnay and pinot noir of Australia.

    VIGNIFICATION:
    The fruit is hand-picked then whole-bunch pressed in the winery. All the solids are collected and chilled before being put to barrel, which are 50 per cent new French oak. A natural fermentation will occur at cool temperatures over the next one to two months, and then a small amount of stirring helps start malolactic fermentation. The wine is then racked, fined and lightly filtered before bottling 11 months after picking. A complete chardonnay.

    TASTING NOTES:
    The wine has an amazing smoothness and calmness that stretches the length of the palate, surrounded with textured fruit and mineral elements. We have been playing with the fruit from these vineyards for more than 8 years, fine tuning the style of wine that these vineyards are producing. What a result once it all came together.

    ABOUT THIS BRAND

    By Farr

    Winery of the Year Australia 2025 and 2022 by The Real Review

    Wine by Farr, is the pre-eminent winery in the Geelong region, its vineyards and winery located at Bannockburn in the Moorabool Valley just outside Geelong city. Nick Farr was Gourmet Traveller Wine magazine’s Winemaker of the Year in 2020, but he is always quick to emphasise that By Farr is a family affair and the wines are a team effort. Indeed, Gary Farr won the same award back in 2001. It’s the only two-generation winning combination. But the Farrs shrink from the idea that the winemaker is some kind of hero: it’s the grape and the land that are important. The Farrs only make wine from their own grapes and are true vignerons in the French sense – they grow the grapes, make the wine, mature and bottle it. Everything is done on-site.
