Goedhuis, March 2023
With 30+ years of collective experience at Domaine Dujac, it comes as no surprise that Gary and Nick are enthusiastic advocates of whole bunch fermentations in their Pinot. The 2020 RP sees around 45% whole bunch and comes from the Côte Vineyard. It pays tribute to Robyn Pamela Farr, wife and mother to Gary and Nick. This 2020 is cool-climate Pinot perfection with its pretty perfumed fruit, refined structure and gleaming freshness, all underpinned by earthy, mineral complexities. Legendary wine writer, the late Len Evans, liked to call By Farr “Australia’s best Pinot”, and it is easy to see why. This will certainly go the distance but is already such a joy.

Gary Farr and his son Nick make tiny quantities of world-class single vineyard Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The father and son winemaking team at this small estate is an impressive one.

Gary Farr and his son Nick make tiny quantities of world-class single vineyard Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The father and son winemaking team at this small estate is an impressive one. Gary has been making wine since 1978 and was head winemaker for many years at Australia’s highly rated Bannockburn estate. They have both spent time working at Calera and Au Bon Climat in California and Cristom in Oregon and, between them, they have also worked over 30 vintages at Domaine Dujac, where Nick now does some consultancy. The Moorabool Valley in Victoria is a little paradise, perfectly suited to crafting cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Refreshing winds and bracing sea breezes regulate the long, sunny days and cool the night air. By Farr’s special patches of vineyard sit on ancient river deposits that offer up complex, mineral rich soils. The results are naturally balanced, evocatively perfumed, and intricately structured Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with a compelling sense of place.Read less
