The 2024 By Farr Tout Prés Pinot Noir is an exceptional single-vineyard wine from one of Australia's most prestigious cool-climate producers. Crafted in the Moorabool Valley of Victoria's Geelong wine region, this highly sought-after Pinot Noir combines remarkable concentration, aromatic complexity and refined structure, reflecting the distinctive character of its vineyard and the Burgundian-inspired philosophy of By Farr.
Established by legendary winemaker Gary Farr and continued by his son Nick Farr, By Farr has earned international acclaim for producing some of Australia's finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The estate's meticulous vineyard management, traditional winemaking techniques and commitment to expressing individual terroirs have established it as a benchmark for premium Australian wine.
Tout Prés, meaning "very close" in French, takes its name from the vineyard's close planting density. Planted in 2001, this distinctive vineyard is renowned for producing one of By Farr's most powerful, concentrated and structurally complex Pinot Noirs. The closely spaced vines encourage competition and naturally restrained growth, contributing to fruit of remarkable intensity and character.
The 2024 vintage offers an impressive expression of the Tout Prés vineyard, balancing generous fruit concentration with the elegance, freshness and savoury complexity characteristic of premium Geelong Pinot Noir.
The bouquet is intensely aromatic and layered, revealing ripe black cherry, dark raspberry, wild strawberry and plum, complemented by violet, rose petals and exotic spices. Subtle notes of forest floor, dried herbs, earthy minerals and finely integrated French oak contribute further depth and sophistication.
The palate is concentrated, richly textured and beautifully structured, displaying layers of dark cherry, blackberry, red plum and savoury spice. Fine-grained yet assertive tannins provide exceptional definition, while vibrant acidity maintains freshness and balance throughout the wine's powerful fruit profile.
The finish is remarkably long and persistent, with lingering dark berries, spice, earthy complexity and subtle mineral undertones. Despite its impressive depth and concentration, the wine retains the precision and elegance that define the finest examples of Australian Pinot Noir.
With its distinctive vineyard character, impressive structure and considerable ageing potential, the 2024 By Farr Tout Prés Pinot Noir is a compelling addition to any serious wine collection and an outstanding choice for enthusiasts of premium Burgundy-inspired Pinot Noir.
