Depth, poise and site expression define this assured Geelong Pinot Noir. The 2022 By Farr Pinot Noir is drawn from estate vineyards in the Moorabool Valley, where ancient volcanic soils and a cool, wind-influenced climate shape wines of structure and restraint. This cuvée reflects the Farr family’s long-standing commitment to traditional, site-driven winemaking, favouring balance and longevity over overt ripeness. In the glass, the wine shows clarity and focus, with pure red and dark fruit supported by savoury and mineral undertones. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts and maturation in French oak contribute complexity while preserving freshness and detail. The 2022 vintage offers a harmonious interplay of fruit concentration, fine tannins and vibrant acidity, giving the wine both immediate appeal and cellaring promise. There is an underlying seriousness to the palate, where texture and structure are as important as flavour. This Pinot Noir speaks clearly of its origin, delivering elegance without sacrificing depth. It is a refined yet confident expression of Geelong Pinot Noir, suited to both the table and the cellar.

“A composed and finely detailed Pinot Noir showing cherry, spice and savoury earth. Medium-bodied with fine tannins, excellent balance and a long, refined finish.”
“Elegant and structured, with bright red fruit, savoury detail and impressive length. A serious Pinot Noir with both finesse and depth.”
The By Farr winery, established by Gary Farr in 1994, has become one of the most prestigious names in Australian winemaking. Situated in the Geelong region, specifically in the Moorabool Valley, the winery is known for its meticulous, hands-off approach to winemaking. With a strong commitment to organic and biodynamic practices, By Farr is recognised for producing wines that are a true expression of their terroir, particularly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Gary Farr, a pioneer of Pinot Noir in the region, has passed down his expertise to his son, Nick Farr, who has now fully taken the reins of the winery. Under Nick’s leadership, By Farr continues to produce exceptional wines that have garnered critical acclaim both in Australia and internationally. Each bottle of By Farr wine reflects the family’s dedication to craftsmanship, sustainability, and the pursuit of perfection in every vintage.
At By Farr, the philosophy is simple: respect for the land, the vine, and the fruit. This approach is grounded in a commitment to sustainable, organic farming practices, as well as hands-off winemaking that lets the terroir speak for itself. The Farr family believes that a great wine starts in the vineyard, with meticulous attention to detail paid to every aspect of vineyard management, from canopy care to harvest timing. Winemaking follows a minimalist approach, with native yeast fermentation, careful barrel selection, and the avoidance of fining and filtration, allowing each wine to evolve naturally and express its true character. This approach has resulted in wines that are elegant, structured, and complex, capturing the unique essence of the Geelong region.
Aromas of cherry, dark raspberry and plum layered with dried herbs, subtle spice, forest floor and a hint of earthy minerality.
Medium-bodied with concentrated red and dark fruit, supported by fine, chalky tannins and fresh acidity that give precision and drive.
A persistent finish marked by savoury complexity, fine tannin grip and lingering red fruit notes.
