Elegant perfume, savoury complexity and site transparency define this cool-climate Pinot Noir from one of Geelong’s most respected producers. The 2024 Irrewarra By Farr Pinot Noir is sourced from the historic Irrewarra Vineyard near Beeac in western Victoria, a site originally planted in 2001 on ancient volcanic soils and limestone beneath. Crafted by the Farr family, the wine reflects the same meticulous vineyard work and restrained winemaking philosophy that have established By Farr among Australia’s leading Pinot Noir estates. The cooler conditions of Irrewarra produce a distinctly fine-boned and aromatic expression, emphasising purity and detail over weight and power.
In the glass, the wine reveals lifted red berry fruit framed by delicate spice, dried herbs and earthy undertones. Whole bunch inclusion and gentle extraction contribute layers of savoury nuance and structural finesse without overshadowing the vineyard character. The palate is supple yet energetic, balancing vibrant acidity with finely textured tannins and mineral drive. There is an understated elegance to the wine, with subtle oak integration supporting rather than dominating the fruit profile. The 2024 vintage continues the estate’s reputation for producing Pinot Noir of precision, fragrance and composure. While already expressive in youth, the wine possesses the structure and harmony to evolve beautifully over the medium term. It stands as a refined and distinctly cool-climate interpretation of Australian Pinot Noir, shaped as much by restraint as by concentration.
