Established by Gary Farr in 1994 after his influential time at Domaine Dujac in Burgundy, By Farr has become one of Australia's benchmark family wineries. While renowned for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the estate's Shiraz has quietly earned a reputation as one of the country's most distinctive expressions of the variety. Drawn from the Farr family's Moorabool Valley vineyards in Geelong, the 2024 Shiraz reflects a cool-climate style shaped by meticulous viticulture, wild fermentation and careful maturation in French oak.

Perfumed and deeply expressive, the nose opens with blackberry, dark cherry and wild plum, layered with cracked pepper, violets, olive tapenade and subtle spice. The palate is medium-bodied yet intensely flavoured, with silky tannins, vibrant acidity and exceptional detail. Dark fruits are framed by savoury herbs, graphite and a gentle mineral edge, leading to a long, elegant finish that is both refined and persistent. A beautifully poised cool-climate Shiraz that captures the finesse and longevity for which By Farr has become renowned.
