Product Notes

By Farr GC Chardonnay is a premium wine that presents a harmonious balance of elegance, complexity and fruit intensity. This wine is made in small batches from vineyards located in the Geelong region, a renowned site in the south-west of Victoria. The 2019 vintage offers a bouquet of delicate aromas of lemon blossom, citrus and white peaches that intermingle with spicy hints of vanilla and hazelnut. On the palate, the wine offers a bright acidity, a full-bodied structure, and a lingering finish marked by a mineral touch. With its impeccable craftsmanship, By Farr GC Chardonnay stands as one of the finest expressions of Australian Chardonnay.

Tasting Notes

The 'GC' Chardonnay wine has a great calmness that stretches the length of the palate, surrounded with textured fruit and mineral elements. Gary and Nick have been working with the fruit from these vineyards for more than eight years, fine tuning the style of wine that these vineyards are producing, with striking results.

About the Winery

By Farr

Located at about 100km from Melbourne, the Farr Wine Estate is one of the oldest wine-growing regions in the Moorabool Valley. The place is blessed with a continental climate and volcanic soil quality. Due to this, the grapes produced here of premium quality with intense flavour and rich colour. In 1994, the estate was purchased by Gary and Robyn Farr. Four years later, they purchased some more land.

In the year 2011, Nick and Cassie Farr purchased the final piece of the estate to increase the family’s total ownership to 130 acres of land. Though the family members have different ideas when it comes to winemaking, they don’t shy away from developing their own wine lines, with varying flavours and characteristics.

Out of the 130 acres, 36 acres are dedicated to growing vines and the remaining is used for grazing cattle.The grapes grown on these 36 acres include flavourful varietals such as Viognier, Chardonnay, Gamay, Shiraz and Pinot Noir. Due to the different winemaking ideas, there are two ranges of wines that are released under this label; By Farr from Gary and Farr Rising by Nick. Both these ranges have received positive feedback from across the globe.

Today, Nick is mostly responsible for the winemaking and all the viticultural practices undertaken in the estate, but under the watchful eyes of his father, Gary. Since both father & son had learnt the tricks and trade of the business from international wineries, they share a common passion for introducing methods to winemaking, but they agree to disagree with each other. The Farr Rising range of wines, launched by Nick, was first released in Bannockburn’s Innisfail Vineyards.

All over the By Farr wine estate, you will notice six different soil qualities.The mineral-rich content of the soil and microclimate prevailing here make this estate on one of the best sources of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
