The By Farr R.P. Pinot Noir 2022 is a tribute to Robyn Pamela Farr, the matriarch of the Farr family, whose tireless dedication has been a cornerstone in building this remarkable Australian wine dynasty. For over 40 years, Robyn has not only supported Gary in his winemaking journey but has been a hands-on partner in every aspect of the vineyard and winery operations, from planting the first vines to late-night grape stomping. This wine is a reflection of Robyn’s unwavering commitment and love for the land and the family’s craft.
Sourced from the Côte vineyard, arguably the estate’s most significant site, the R.P. Pinot Noir is an ethereal expression of Pinot Noir. The vineyard’s perfect clones, aspect, and viticultural techniques form the foundation of a wine that is light yet complex, delicate yet structured. The fruit is hand-picked, sorted, and fermented with natural yeasts, undergoing a cold soak and pigeage (grape-stomping) to extract the purest expression of the fruit. Aged for 18 months in a mix of new French oak barrels, this wine captures the finesse, depth, and elegance that the Farr family has spent years perfecting.
This Pinot Noir is beautifully perfumed with layers of spice, dark fruits, and earthy notes, leading to a smooth, fine tannin structure. It’s an expression of both the land and the artistry of the winemaker, creating a wine that’s both sophisticated and rapturous. A true testament to the pursuit of excellence that has defined the Farr family’s winemaking journey.

The By Farr winery, established by Gary Farr in 1994, has become one of the most prestigious names in Australian winemaking. Situated in the Geelong region, specifically in the Moorabool Valley, the winery is known for its meticulous, hands-off approach to winemaking. With a strong commitment to organic and biodynamic practices, By Farr is recognised for producing wines that are a true expression of their terroir, particularly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Gary Farr, a pioneer of Pinot Noir in the region, has passed down his expertise to his son, Nick Farr, who has now fully taken the reins of the winery. Under Nick’s leadership, By Farr continues to produce exceptional wines that have garnered critical acclaim both in Australia and internationally. Each bottle of By Farr wine reflects the family’s dedication to craftsmanship, sustainability, and the pursuit of perfection in every vintage.
At By Farr, the philosophy is simple: respect for the land, the vine, and the fruit. This approach is grounded in a commitment to sustainable, organic farming practices, as well as hands-off winemaking that lets the terroir speak for itself. The Farr family believes that a great wine starts in the vineyard, with meticulous attention to detail paid to every aspect of vineyard management, from canopy care to harvest timing. Winemaking follows a minimalist approach, with native yeast fermentation, careful barrel selection, and the avoidance of fining and filtration, allowing each wine to evolve naturally and express its true character. This approach has resulted in wines that are elegant, structured, and complex, capturing the unique essence of the Geelong region.
The nose opens with complex layers of spice, marmite, chinotto, and wet earth, intertwined with a tangy edge of raspberry. This multifaceted aromatic profile reflects the depth and complexity that this wine has to offer.
The palate is a masterclass in structure and power. The wine’s abundance of ripe fruit—peach, dark berries—fuses seamlessly with earthy, savoury notes and a subtle hint of spice. The tannins are fine and velvety, providing a backbone of elegance and allowing the wine’s concentration to shine.
The finish is long and textured, with a persistent, smooth quality that leaves a lasting impression. The wine’s delicate yet firm structure, coupled with its layered complexity, makes for an exceptional and memorable finish.
