2024 By Farr Rising Geelong Pinot Noir 750ml

Awards, Ratings & Reviews

— Ben Knight, Wine Critic · 2024 Vintage
“Ripe, generous, and rounded, this Pinot Noir delivers a depth and intensity regularly seen from this site. Dark spice and ripe black fruits take centre stage — no herbal edges, just a confident savoury expression. It’s powerful yet entirely seductive, in the way only Pinot Noir can be. That allure comes from balance: though this is a big wine, it remains perfumed and fresh, never overbearing.”

About This Wine

The fruit is hand harvested and fermented in an open-top fermenter with 60–70% destemmed.

Over time the site has shown that it can stand alongside the larger wines of the estate.

About the Producer

Wine by Farr is a wine producer based in Bannockburn in the cool and dry Moorabool Valley in the Geelong subregion of Victoria. The estate produces a range of red, white and rosé wines from varieties including Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Shiraz and Viognier, with Pinot Noir representing the majority of production.

The estate was established in 1994 by Robyn and Gary Farr in Bannockburn, west of Geelong and approximately 90km southwest of Melbourne. Vineyard plantings have expanded to around 36 acres under vine.

The winery is now run by the second generation, Nick and Cassie Farr, and produces three main ranges: By Farr, Farr Rising and Irrewarra.

The winery was named Australian Winery of the Year by the Australian publication Good Food in 2022.
