An ethereal Pinot. Herbal and ashen, with smoky reduction notes and a hint of tobacco. Good structure and flow, mineral and nervy, with red berries and a dark cherry core. From the Irrewarra vineyard planted in 2001 and lovingingly tended and dry grown by the Calvert family in nearby Colac. The grapes live alongside the cows who haven't cottoned on to how delicious the grapes are.

The climate at Irrewarra vineyards are distinct from the older sites in the By Farr range, with higher rainfall and free-draining soils. This results in a cooler style By Farr, showing great fruit expression with a deceptively long and mineral palate. There's plenty of sweet and sour cherries, earth, spice and a lovely elegant structure.

By Farr is the brand of the Farr Family, started in 1994 by Robyn and Gary on a north facing slope in the township of Bannockburn in the Moorabool Valley. 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.

The Irrewarra Vineyard site has now been in the hands of the Farr family and team for 12 years. The vineyard was planted by the Calvert family in 2001 to a mixture of clones on own roots. It is predominantly pinot noir with 6 acres and accompanied by 2 acres of chardonnay. The vineyard sits at the top of the slope facing large water reserves ‘Salt Lake’ and the ‘Calvert Lough’ to the north. It generally takes 10 years for a new planting to bed down there roots and show consistent characteristics. Well it has also taken 10 years to truly unlock the potential of the Western District site. With the support of owners John and Browynn Calvert, the soil management and vine health give wines of unique cool climate viticulture. They are a cooler expression By Farr.
