By Farr GC Cote Vineyard Chardonnay

By Farr GC Cote Vineyard Chardonnay is a benchmark expression of cool-climate Geelong Chardonnay, sourced exclusively from the prized Côte Vineyard in the Moorabool Valley. Named in honour of founder Gary Charles Farr, this wine reflects decades of intimate site knowledge and a relentless focus on precision viticulture. Hand-picked fruit is whole-bunch pressed and fermented with indigenous yeasts, then matured in French oak to build texture and complexity without obscuring the vineyard’s natural character.

The wine opens with aromas of citrus peel, white peach and nectarine, layered with subtle notes of lemon curd, roasted hazelnut and gentle spice. On the palate it is finely structured and textural, balancing ripe stone fruit with a chalky, mineral backbone and vibrant acidity. Oak is seamlessly integrated, adding depth rather than weight, and the finish is long, saline and refined. Drinking beautifully now, yet with the balance and intensity to reward careful cellaring over the next decade, this is a serious Australian Chardonnay for those who value finesse, site expression and longevity.
