Winery of the Year Australia: Wine by Farr
May 22, 2025 - Huon Hooke
The Real Review Winery of the Year Australia 2025 is Wine by Farr, located in the Moorabool Valley of the Geelong wine region.
Gary Farr’s obsession with pinot noir and Burgundy is well documented. He spent several years working in Burgundy at harvest time, at Domaine Dujac. He and Nick are both Burgundy obsessives and are driven to produce not only great Australian pinot noir but Australian pinot noir that can stand with the best in the world—whether from France, California, Oregon, New Zealand or anywhere else.

It’s easy to say, now that we are where we are, that the By Farr endeavour was always going, at some stage, to move from excellent to elite, or from very good to superb. In wine, such a conclusion is never foregone, and no matter how hard anyone tries, it will forever remain out of the reach of most. And yet, By Farr is now here; it is one of the best, a leader on all quality fronts. James Halliday
Today, when it comes to capturing this marginal terroir in a bottle, one name stands out: By Farr. Known for disruption of its own, this small-but-mighty producer’s success story is built upon decades of iconoclastic grit, unwavering integrity and fierce determination. Tom Kline, Decanter
“This is a single-minded producer if ever there was one; this is a producer interested in quality and nothing else... There is, simply, no such thing as a boring By Farr wine.”
