Description
Chardonnay by Farr 2023
The trademark characteristics of the wine produced on our site are understated power and length with a mineral finish. The wine has a great fruit expression that is well integrated with French oak.
The soil characteristics have come through in the style of wine we have today. The palate is fine but firm, with great acidity, texture and length. This wine is rich in flavour, yet very refined.
The By Farr chardonnay comes from the same site as the Sangreal pinot noir—composed of red soil over limestone—and was planted in 1994. The limestone of this site is not exposed on the surface as at other sites. The limestone starts 20 to 30cm below the surface, to the depths of the root zone of the vines. It is a very exposed north-facing slope.
The clones used for the chardonnay are a mixture of Dijon clones and Penfolds 58.
About By Farr
By Farr and Farr Rising continue to be separate brands from distinct vineyards. We make pinot noir, chardonnay, shiraz and viognier; the vineyards are in conversion to organic.
There are 6 different soils spread across the Farr property, with 2 main types: rich, friable red and black volcanic loam; and limestone, which dominates the loam in some areas.
The other soils are quartz gravel through a red volcanic soil, ironstone (buckshot) in grey sandy loam with a heavy clay base, sandstone base and volcanic lava. The soil’s good drainage and low fertility are crucial in ensuring small yields of intensely flavoured fruit.
