By Farr Chardonnay – A Benchmark Australian Chardonnay
Few Australian Chardonnays are as revered as By Farr Chardonnay. Grown on the Farr family's estate in Bannockburn, Geelong, this flagship wine is celebrated for its purity, precision, and unmistakable sense of place. Combining Burgundian inspiration with Australian character, By Farr Chardonnay has earned its place among the country's finest white wines.
Elegant and beautifully composed, the wine opens with aromas of white peach, citrus blossom, lemon curd, and ripe nectarine, complemented by notes of roasted hazelnut, flint, and subtle French oak. The palate is powerful yet restrained, driven by vibrant natural acidity, a fine mineral backbone, and a creamy texture that leads to an exceptionally long, saline finish.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this Chardonnay balances richness with remarkable freshness, delivering complexity from the first sip while continuing to evolve beautifully with time.
Food Pairing
Perfect alongside freshly shucked oysters, lobster, roast chicken, grilled John Dory, creamy pasta, or mature soft cheeses.
Cellaring
Outstanding on release, with the structure and acidity to reward 8–15 years of careful cellaring, developing greater depth, texture, and complexity over time.
Why We Love It
By Farr Chardonnay is a masterclass in terroir-driven winemaking. Dry-grown vineyards, hand-picked fruit, wild yeast fermentation, barrel maturation in premium French oak, and minimal intervention preserve the purity of the vineyard while adding remarkable depth and texture. Nick Farr's uncompromising approach has produced a Chardonnay that consistently ranks among Australia's most collectible and sought-after white wines—an elegant expression of Geelong that rivals the world's finest examples.
