By Farr Irrewarra Chardonnay

The By Farr 'Irrewarra' Chardonnay is a distinguished cool-climate white wine crafted by Nick Farr, son of renowned winemaker Gary Farr. Sourced from a vineyard near the town of Irrewarra in western Victoria, this site was planted in 2001 by the Calvert family, known for the Irrewarra Sourdough Bakery. The vineyard's unique location, characterised by marshy terrain and a cooler climate, contributes to the wine's distinctive profile.

The Irrewarra Chardonnay is celebrated for its vibrant acidity and mineral-driven character. Tasting notes often highlight aromas of lemon, lime, and toasted hazelnuts, leading to a palate featuring crisp green apple and citrus flavours. The wine undergoes wild yeast fermentation with malolactic conversion and lees stirring, resulting in a rich, nuanced flavour profile that maintains a distinct sense of place.
