It probably shouldn’t be this exciting, but it is. The wine that is, not the train so much.  Depending on the background, the colour seems generous. Even with a white stone bench top behind it, it has a lovely golden shimmer. It smells perfect. At least to me it does. Wet stones, struck match, ginger, lime, stone fruit and white florals. The palate at this temperature is a riot. Intense and powerful, it’s electric and relentless, the fruit expression more than a match for it. This is the very definition of how tension makes wine so exciting. It’s balanced, and at full stretch, it delivers a perfect result. Could you soften it with a decant? Sure, but then you’d miss the thrill. It’s hard to describe exactly why it’s so exciting, if you write it down, as I’ve done, it’s just words on a screen.

The Original wines where Chardonnay by Farr, Viognier by Farr, Shiraz by Farr and Pinot Noir by Farr now known as Sangreal by Farr. Overtime with the help of Cassie and Nick the vineyards have expand to adjoining neighbouring properties and eventually greater expression of the single site wines that we have today because of the pieces of dirt that we love to farm. The wines of By Farr are built around complexity, layered structure and undeniable length that places them in the highest regard by both consumers for their drinkability and age worthiness or critics around the world for their individuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Farr estate is located in the Moorabool Valley between Geelong and Ballarat, 100km southwest of Melbourne. Gary and Robyn Farr purchased the original property in 1994 and the second section in 1998—this latter had been untouched for almost 40 years and consisted of dense boxthorn and noxious weeds. The final piece of the puzzle, which links the two blocks of land, was purchased by Nick and Cassie Farr in 2011, making a total of 130 acres. Nick and Gary Farr stand side by side, but aren’t afraid to go head-to-head when their opinions differ. Each generation has developed a distinctive winemaking style based on his individual experience and taste, and their respective lines - By Farr by Gary, and Farr Rising by Nick - have received critical acclaim both in Australia and overseas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RP Pinot Noir (RP – Robyn Pamela) is in recognition of the matriarch. It is not only the support and goffering that Robyn has endured for Gary’s 40 year career. She has been in the vineyard and planted the first vines, driven the tractors, filled barrels and pigeaged at midnight. If we are ever a man down Robyn has always been the first one we have called to fill the void no matter the job, no matter the time of day. You can always count on mum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit for this wine is sourced from the Cote Vineyard as is the GC Chardonnay. A close planted \/ high density planting of Pinot Noir on a exposed cote. These hillsides facing North, North East and East will be the backbone of the Farr dynasty for decades to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRobyn Pamela. What a fitting wine for Nick’s mum. It’s regal, not that Robyn would want that type of characterisation, but she is and so is the wine. I tasted a wine blind last week that Nick sent me and I starting talking about the fruit profile. He then asked about tannin ripeness, which I had overlooked entirely. (These folk are into the minutiae when it comes to their wine.) The RP is complete. Fruit expression, house style, physiological ripeness (the tannin thing he asked me about) is all resolved, all fully formed and ready. The acid line works more like a Soprano, balancing and thrilling us. The fruit expression just right, dark Xmas cherries, bags of spice and tang and ripe lickable tannins. Remember the bit about hyperbole I mentioned earlier? There’s no basic way to describe these wines, not because these are flavours that don’t exist in wine, but because it’s just so hard to fit them all in to one wine, with the structure just right and the oak there, but not there at all. -\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBen Knight (For Nick Farr)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-16 body-text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"details pl-3 bb-1 bc-off-white-50 lg--pl-0 pb-4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"region row align-center pt-7 pb-1 lg--no-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"h6 c-biege w-190px lg--no-shrink lg--w-170px\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.reservecellar.com.au\/maker\/by-farr\" class=\"flex\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52736103022955,"sku":"SK41854752","price":185.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/2018_By_Farr_RP_Cote_Vineyard_Pinot_Noir_750ml.png?v=1780390301"},{"product_id":"2016-by-farr-sangreal-pinot-noir-750ml","title":"2016 By Farr Sangreal Pinot Noir 750ml","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"para pt-5 ml-3 mr-6 lg--mr-0 lg--ml-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"c-off-white w-64ch\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe victorious single-vineyard By Farr Sangreal Pinot Noir, crafted from 114 and 115 clones, serves as both an emblem of triumph and a symbol of renewal.

The second vineyard is a younger planting of unknown clones in red ironstone soil. The viognier is a difficult variety to manage as it has a tendency to grow horizontally rather than vertically, needs a lot of water and can become sunburnt very easily.

The name has become synonymous with rich, fruit-forward higher alcohol wines, while “Syrah” is traditionally French or wines that aspire towards a more nuanced approach. Our wine is on the lighter side of medium-bodied but by no means wimpy. Spice box aromas meld delicately with berry and dark cherry flavours, and finishes with driving acidity.

The difference between the two Pinots comes primarily from the site within the property, trellising and handling. Tout Pres, from its miniature and densely packed vines delivers a wine of greater density of palate too. That fuller texture gives the wine more richness, palate weight and more noticeable softness. The Tout Prés has more sweet perfume, aromatic wood and more toasty, chocolate and mocha warmth, yet follows the path of brilliant freshness and expressive tension. \u003cstrong\u003eBen Knight, Critic.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-16 body-text\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"uppercase\"\u003eVINIFICATION\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTout Pres is made using the same process as the other two pinots.

The second vineyard is a younger planting of unknown clones in red ironstone soil. The viognier is a difficult variety to manage as it has a tendency to grow horizontally rather than vertically, needs a lot of water and can become sunburnt very easily. Because of this we have decided to pick the fruit earlier in the past few years in order to retain its natural acidity, ensuring we maintain varietal character and creating a more delicate and refined wine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-16 body-text\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"uppercase\"\u003eVINIFICATION\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eViognier is foot stomped and left for two or more hours on its skins to extract the phenols, flavour and texture.

The Original wines where Chardonnay by Farr, Viognier by Farr, Shiraz by Farr and Pinot Noir by Farr now known as Sangreal by Farr. Overtime with the help of Cassie and Nick the vineyards have expand to adjoining neighbouring properties and eventually greater expression of the single site wines that we have today because of the pieces of dirt that we love to farm. The wines of By Farr are built around complexity, layered structure and undeniable length that places them in the highest regard by both consumers for their drinkability and age worthiness or critics around the world for their individuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Farr estate is located in the Moorabool Valley between Geelong and Ballarat, 100km southwest of Melbourne. Gary and Robyn Farr purchased the original property in 1994 and the second section in 1998—this latter had been untouched for almost 40 years and consisted of dense boxthorn and noxious weeds. The final piece of the puzzle, which links the two blocks of land, was purchased by Nick and Cassie Farr in 2011, making a total of 130 acres. Nick and Gary Farr stand side by side, but aren’t afraid to go head-to-head when their opinions differ. Each generation has developed a distinctive winemaking style based on his individual experience and taste, and their respective lines - By Farr by Gary, and Farr Rising by Nick - have received critical acclaim both in Australia and overseas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RP Pinot Noir (RP – Robyn Pamela) is in recognition of the matriarch. It is not only the support and goffering that Robyn has endured for Gary’s 40 year career. She has been in the vineyard and planted the first vines, driven the tractors, filled barrels and pigeaged at midnight. If we are ever a man down Robyn has always been the first one we have called to fill the void no matter the job, no matter the time of day. You can always count on mum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit for this wine is sourced from the Cote Vineyard as is the GC Chardonnay.

What a fitting wine for Nick’s mum. It’s regal, not that Robyn would want that type of characterisation, but she is and so is the wine. I tasted a wine blind last week that Nick sent me and I starting talking about the fruit profile. He then asked about tannin ripeness, which I had overlooked entirely. (These folk are into the minutiae when it comes to their wine.) The RP is complete. Fruit expression, house style, physiological ripeness (the tannin thing he asked me about) is all resolved, all fully formed and ready. The acid line works more like a Soprano, balancing and thrilling us. The fruit expression just right, dark Xmas cherries, bags of spice and tang and ripe lickable tannins. Remember the bit about hyperbole I mentioned earlier? There’s no basic way to describe these wines, not because these are flavours that don’t exist in wine, but because it’s just so hard to fit them all in to one wine, with the structure just right and the oak there, but not there at all. -\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBen Knight (For Nick Farr)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-16 body-text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"details pl-3 bb-1 bc-off-white-50 lg--pl-0 pb-4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"region row align-center pt-7 pb-1 lg--no-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"h6 c-biege w-190px lg--no-shrink lg--w-170px\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca class=\"flex\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reservecellar.com.au\/maker\/by-farr\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52736164856171,"sku":"SK36773698","price":180.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/2020_By_Farr_RP_Cote_Vineyard_Pinot_Noir_750ml_035c89a8-5be8-430b-b287-2b8e2877aed1.jpg?v=1767588812"},{"product_id":"2024-by-farr-rising-saignee-rose-750ml","title":"2024 By Farr Rising Saignee Rose 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Rosé is crafted using the Saignee method, where juice is gently bled from Farr Rising Pinot Noir fruit to achieve its delicate color and intensify flavors before undergoing barrel fermentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's been absent for too long—I’ve truly missed it.
