The Farr Rising chardonnay sits next to the Farr Rising pinot noir vineyard. Unlike the black soil of the latter, however, the chardonnays' soil has a large proportion of grey loam. This vineyard is more protected than other sites because of its undulation, but fertility and growing levels remain very low. The clones used for the chardonnay are a mixture of Dijon clones and Penfolds 58, all planted in 2001.
Saignee, technically meaning “to bleed game meat or poultry”, refers to the way we ‘bleed’ juice for this wine. We allow the Farr Rising pinot noir fruit to sit in tank for two to three hours before bleeding free-run juice at a suitable colour for rosé production. This process concentrates the pinot ferment, but we also produce a barrel-fermented rosé. Natural barrel fermentation at cool temperatures is followed by full malolacitc fermentation. The wine is then placed in four- and five-year-old barrels for 10 months before being filtered and bottled.
By farr Sangreal Pinot Noir is a unique wine, the taste is earthy and lightly smokey. It has the scent of dark cherries and is recommended to be served with beef or poultry.
An amazing smoothness and calmness that stretches the length of the palate, surrounded with textured fruit and mineral elements.
Tightly packed combination of plums and undergrowth with an edgy acidity - and one of the By Farr team's favourite drops.

Pale and pretty in crystal-clear pink with orange undertones. The nose is delicate and fruity with notes of white peach and apricot mixed with passion fruit and mango. The taste is full, fresh and crisp with echoes of the fruity aroma amplified by citrus zest and sweet spices (cinnamon and cardamom). All of the great Domaines Ott* tradition in a friendly and elegant wine.
A bright nose of savoury, earthy elements and lifted sour cherry notes leads to a palate made firm by ripe tannins and driving acidity.
Caledonia Australis pinot noir is full of flavor including sweet berries. It is well aged and has the nose of berries, serve with beef or veal.
The value-priced 2018 Pinot Noir Julia's Vineyard sports a ruby hue as well as an impressive nose of spiced cherries and framboise-like fruits, smoked earth, and toasted spices. Beautifully textured, medium-bodied, and elegant, it tastes as if it cost 2-3 times the price. - Jeb Dunnuck
Fairly typical of the best of this style from the Gippsland region with the added mineral complexities we attribute to our granite soils.
The Pinot Noir is earthy and complex, lively and elegant with great depth and persistence, along with some violet and cherry notes.
