By Farr Farrside Pinot Noir 2023
$105.00The evolution of this site and wine is complexing, gone are the days of words being used like bold, brash and muscular. Now two decades of releasing the wine, the description is fine, vibrate and ethereal. This wine has a retained nose for the moment, but the mouthfeel is almost jubilant in comparison. Even against […]

By Farr Chardonnay 2024
$105.00A great vintage for By Farr Chardonnay, although every vintage seems pretty great! The lusciousness and richness is dialled up, without any loss of freshness. Creamy with cashew, yellow peach, spring jasmine, wood spice and nougat beautifully interwoven. A wine for flavour fetishists, utterly palate coating. Textured, with dry extract – the mid palate, bursting […]

With its aromas of yellow fruits, orange blossom, fennel seeds and crushed rocks, there is a lot going on here! The palate is concentrated and vibrant, with a fine vein of acidity […]

Irrewarra Pinot Noir 2023
$70.00Out of Stock
I haven’t tried Irrewarra for a few years and had forgotten what a wonderful set of wines they are. They have the hallmark prettiness of Farr, presumably from ferments with a high proportion of whole berries, the mid palate flesh and weight and the lovely finessed grip of cashmere tannins. The wines offer a gorgeous, […]

By Farr GC Chardonnay 2024
$170.00The GC Chardonnay (GC – Gary Charles) is attributed to all the knowledge we have been able to extract from Gary to create a close planted / high density planting of chardonnay on an exposed côte. These hillsides facing North, North East and East will be the backbone of the Farr dynasty for decades to come. They […]

Clyde Park Chardonnay 2022
$45.00The extra year of bottle age has added some more weight and an extra dimension of complexity. Full bodied and rich with citrus, cream, preserved lemon, yellow peach, wood spice and crushed ANZAC biscuit. Fleshy and round, with terrific clarity of fruit and mineral cut. Incredible complexity for a Chardonnay at this price and an […]

By Farr Shiraz 2023
$105.00This is sensational. It’s everything that amazing Shiraz tastes like. I say that from a non “big Aussie” Shiraz viewpoint. How a wine from the Moorabool Valley tastes like something from the Northern Rhone escapes me. Salty, peppery, black olives, floral notes and barrel spice. It has a coolness to it, accentuated by the acid […]

Farr Rising Saignee Rose 2025
$43.00The 2025 Farr Rising Saignee returns with its familiar salmon pink hue and complex oak characteristics. Playful on the nose with ripe tropical fruit, and a rounded nutty aroma to draw you back in. The palate is both soft and refreshing, to be enjoyed equally with food or without. The wine is ready to be enjoyed now […]

Mulline Pinot Gris 2024
$33.00“100% pinot gris from Modewarre on the Surf Coast in Geelong. A bright salmon copper. The nose features an attractive amalgam of cranberries, freshly cut pear, Mediterranean herbs and a little honeydew melon. Just as good on the mouth-filling, savoury, pithy and long palate. Top stuff.” 95 Points – Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion) […]

Mulline Chardonnay 2024
$33.00“A blend of fruit from the Moorabool Valley, Barrabool Hills and Bellarine Peninsulas in Geelong. The boys at Mulline have nailed this new and well-priced addition to the range. Gently saline, with aromas of perfectly ripened white peaches. The palate is simultaneously fleshy, structured and long. A wine to buy by the case and enjoy […]

Farr Rising Chardonnay 2024
$60.00‘It’s a suggestion of a golden flash in the glass. That first interaction makes it pleasing and generous. The nose is faint yellow apple, something peppery, white chocolate, celery leaf, dried mango and baking spice. That sounds like an overreaction, but it’s what I got. Obviously, these are flashes, like a flickering light that begins […]

By Farr Tout Pres Pinot Noir 2022
$165.00‘Deep and bright, youthful colour with lots of purple in the rim and great limpidity. The first aroma is of root vegetables, potato and parsnip, gradually giving way to rich ripe dark cherry that floods the palate with succulent sweet fruit flavour and beautifully balanced fine-grained tannins. The tannins provide a backbone and a counter-balance […]

Bannockburn Riesling 2024
$30.00“Made mainly from 0.4ha of vines planted in 1976. A pure and quite lovely nose featuring scents of Meyer lemon, makrut lime leaves and floral notes. The palate is linear, chalky and long with the fruit and acidity in perfect harmony. I’m thinking san choy bow would be a great match. I’m guessing it’ll age […]

Irrewarra Chardonnay 2024
$70.00It’s curious to note that the Irrewarra pinot noir provides the Farr stable with a burlier, darker, savoury and earthy wine, whilst the chardonnay is the most linear, precise and acid driven of the range. I’m not sure if this is a function of the vineyard or winemaking choices, but it makes for a fascinating […]

Mulline Pinot Noir 2024
$33.00“A four-vineyard, six-clone blend; 20% wholes bunches, 15% new oak. A bright crimson red. A lifted bouquet redolent of summer red fruits, poached rhubarb, rose bush and white pepper. The energetic palate is light to medium bodied with the wine’s fine-grained tannins and bright acidity making for a delicious and refreshing mouthful. Good, nay, great […]

By Farr Sangreal Pinot Noir 2023
$130.00Sour cherry and cream. Green pepper, cornichon, dried citrus peel. Loads of brown spice like mace, cloves and even a waft of cardamom. Ripe plum, dark cherries, dried earth and a warmth, not from alcohol but generosity of flavour. The wine is so welcoming. I just had the smallest sip, and this wine just mushrooms […]

Exotic aromas of intense, brambly red and black fruits intermingle with dark rose, blood orange and a little leather.

Bannockburn De La Terre Pinot Noir 2022
$80.00One of the most stunningly aromatic pinots we’ve tried in a very long time. Drawing you in with star anise, sweet cherry, blackberry, cola, lavender wood, aniseed, sweet raspberry and cassis. Round and open, the aromatics quiet different to what’s found on the palate. Cured meats, mushroom, fresh compost, smoke and baking spices. Savoury tertiary […]

Nadeson Collis Inception NV
$60.00“A very vinous sparkling, composed, rich, silky in texture, the Inception sees around 25% solera material blended with the remaining wine, chardonnay from 2017. The combined wines are matured in barrel. It’s a bold sparkling with honey on toast, cashew and sea-spray characters. Fuller in flavour, it shows a zingy tang of acidity and vigorous, […]

By Farr Shiraz 2022
$100.00The By Farr Shiraz is amongst Australia’s best and most singular; a great site expression. Rich, concentrated, seamless and controlled. Extremely complex and with a flavour profile all it’s own. Smoked paprika, red capsicum, curry leaf and fenugreek counter the compote of red, black and hedge fruits. There is great tension between the sweet and […]

Bannockburn Chardonnay 2024
$70.0095 points, TWF Bannockburn’s Chardonnay has a track record most Victorian producers would give their eye teeth for. The quality and style can be traced back to the estate’s exceptional organically farmed sites. Olive Tree Hill Vineyard was planted in 1976 and abuts the S.R.H. parcel, while Winery Block was planted in 1981. Both lie […]
