New Releases from By Farr — Australia’s Winery of the Year 2025

They are pinot noir specialists, with chardonnay of equal standing in importance if not in numbers of individual bottlings.

Renowned for their uncompromising dedication to quality, By Farr has once again earned the prestigious title of The Real Review Winery of the Year Australia 2025. This marks their second win in just four years, reaffirming their status as one of Australia’s most exceptional producers of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Located in the Moorabool Valley within the Geelong wine region, Wine by Farr is a family-run estate founded by Gary and Robyn Farr in 1994. Today, the winery is led by their son, Nick Farr, whose visionary approach continues to elevate their wines to global acclaim.

While By Farr is best known as a Pinot Noir specialist, Chardonnay holds equal weight in their winemaking philosophy. Over the years, their range has expanded to include outstanding Shiraz, Viognier, Gamay, and a unique rosé-style wine under the Farr Rising label. However, it’s the latest releases that are truly turning heads this year.

New Releases to Watch:

2024 By Farr Chardonnay
A beautifully refined and balanced expression of the Moorabool Valley, the 2024 vintage offers lifted citrus, fine minerality, and subtle oak spice. The result is a layered and elegant Chardonnay that speaks of both place and precision.

2023 Côte Vineyard GC Chardonnay
Crafted from the Côte Vineyard—regarded by the Farrs as their finest Chardonnay site—this release is taut, textured, and mineral-driven, showcasing purity and length with remarkable finesse.

2023 By Farr Sangreal Pinot Noir
The Sangreal block is known for its elegance and finesse, and the 2023 vintage is no exception. Silky, perfumed, and beautifully structured, it’s a Pinot that dances between power and delicacy.

2022 Côte Vineyard RP Pinot Noir
A rich, brooding Pinot Noir from a site that consistently produces deeply structured wines. Whole-bunch inclusion and dense tannins bring complexity and longevity.

2022 Tout Près Pinot Noir
A standout from one of the estate’s most closely planted and meticulously farmed vineyards. The 2022 vintage delivers layered dark fruit, earthy undertones, and powerful structure with graceful detail.

2022 By Farr Shiraz
Spicy, savoury, and textural, this cool-climate Shiraz reflects the same level of care and precision that defines the Farrs’ Pinot and Chardonnay. A brilliant example of regional expression and elegance.

These newly released wines reflect the culmination of decades of dedication and experimentation. The Côte Vineyard, in particular, represents a recent milestone—considered by the Farr family as the source of their finest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir to date. It's the result of thoughtful site selection and a deep understanding of how climate and soil shape wine character.

At By Farr, every bottle tells the story of hands-on viticulture, estate-grown fruit, and a holistic winemaking process. The Farrs are true vignerons—growing, vinifying, maturing, and bottling their wines entirely on their own land.

This latest release confirms what many wine lovers already know: By Farr is not only making some of the best wines in Australia—but wines that can confidently stand alongside the greatest in the world.
