By Farr Irrewarra Chardonnay (2021)
750mL / Geelong, VIC / Australia
The Irrewarra brand is a relatively young brand but with a now mature vineyard site planted in 2001 by the Calvert family of famed Irrewarra Sourdough Bakery.
Inspired by time spent in Burgundy during the 1992 vintage Bronwyn and John decided to plant a dry farmed Chardonnay and Pinot Noir site.
The Farr Family decided to make the site their own with the help of the Calvert's from 2012, farming the land with the level of detail that is expected of the Farr Rising and By Farr sites.
Experiencing overtime the share differences between the Bannockburn and Irrewarra sites has lead to greater awareness of all our sites and created a line of wines under the Irrewarra label that are extremely fine and austere.
The Farr Irrewarra Chardonnay exhibits lime and utter freshness. A fantastic example of the damp earth, high rain fall climate and free draining soils that they are situated in.
Exciting times ahead for those that haven't not yet had the pleasure.
