The By Farr Tout Pres Pinot Noir 2022 is the pinnacle of the Farr family's winemaking legacy, crafted from one of the most challenging and revered vineyard sites in Geelong, Victoria. Named after the French phrase for "very cosy," Tout Pres is a densely-planted site with nearly 7,300 vines per hectare, where competition for nutrients forces the vines to work harder, producing intensely flavoured, structured fruit. The result is a Pinot Noir that stands tall in the Southern Hemisphere, offering complexity and individuality rivaling the finest Grand Cru wines of Burgundy.
Sourced from a unique vineyard with three distinct slopes—black volcanic soil over limestone, quartz gravel mixed with ironstone, and sandy loam—this wine benefits from the varied terroir, with each slope contributing a different aspect to the wine’s profile. The 2022 vintage continues the evolution of the Tout Pres vineyard, showcasing more subtlety, delicate fruit structure, and incredible balance. Fermented with 100% whole bunches in a five-tonne oak fermenter and aged in 100% new French oak, the wine is a powerful expression of the site, with ripe berries, sweet spice, and earthy notes layered with a touch of graphite and pepper.
This exceptional Pinot Noir is not just a wine—it’s a sensory journey. It captures the essence of the land, the winemaking process, and the Farr family’s dedication to creating wines of extraordinary character. With a structured core, vibrant acidity, and nuanced complexity, the By Farr Tout Pres Pinot Noir 2022 is a wine that will age beautifully for decades, rewarding the patient collector with every passing year.
