Farrside is the estate's most powerful single-vineyard expression, and the 2022 is a compelling example of what Geelong can achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMy Wine Man on By Farr\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eGary Farr spent decades as winemaker at Bannockburn before establishing By Farr with his son Nick — and the influence of Burgundy is unmistakable in everything they make. The Farrside vineyard sits on the cooler, windswept slopes of Geelong, producing Pinot Noir with a distinctive richness and structure that sets it apart from the more perfumed styles of Tasmania or the Yarra Valley. This is Pinot Noir for serious wine lovers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMedium-deep ruby with bright purple reflections. The bouquet offers red cherry, smoky savoury notes, root vegetables, and vanilla, with stalky nuances tucked in the background. The palate is rich and full with generosity and ample, mouth-coating tannins that are fine, ripe, and supple. A wine of real substance and presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle \u0026amp; Drinking Window\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eFull-bodied for Pinot Noir, with a richer, more structured character than typical cool-climate expressions. Drinking well now with decanting, and will reward cellaring through 2030–2035 as the tannins integrate and the complexity deepens. Decant for at least 1 hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy This Is a Smart Buy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt HK$549, Farrside represents exceptional value for single-vineyard Geelong Pinot Noir of this calibre. By Farr consistently scores 95–97pts with James Halliday and is one of Australia's most allocated producers — tiny production, strong critical acclaim, and a track record of ageing magnificently. This is a wine that belongs in any serious cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLooking for a Different Style?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore the full By Farr single-vineyard range:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/7891301367877\"\u003e2022 Tout Pres by Farr Pinot Noir\u003c\/a\u003e — sibling single-vineyard from the same estate, more perfumed and elegant in style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/7891301433413\"\u003e2022 R.P by Farr Pinot Noir\u003c\/a\u003e — another single-vineyard expression from By Farr, different block and character\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLife's too short for bad wine.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Wine Man","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44419562274885,"sku":"RDPNAU22FS00750","price":549.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6194\/1061\/files\/ByFarrFarrsidePinotNoir.jpg?v=1766007093","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineman.com\/products\/2022-farrside-by-farr-pinot-noir","provider":"My Wine Man","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
