Description
The 2024 By Farr Chardonnay is another masterclass in precision and grace - a wine that captures the essence of this remarkable vineyard and vintage.
Grown on the exposed, north-facing limestone slope alongside the Sangreal Pinot Noir, this Chardonnay carries that signature mineral thread that seems to hum through every glass. The season offered a mild growing period with a warm finish, encouraging slow, steady ripening. It's a full-bodied Chardonnay of easy power - layered, focused, and beautifully poised.
As ever, Nick Farr’s Burgundian approach brings refinement and complexity without artifice. The 2024 release is generous in fruit, with ripe citrus, white stone fruits, and a whisper of almond meal, all wrapped around a spine of fine, saline acidity. There’s a soft texture from the slow fermentation, but it’s held tight by the wine’s underlying energy and length.
Whether you’re a seasoned Chardonnay devotee or just after a great bottle of wine, this is a brilliant expression of what Australian Chardonnay can be - thrilling now, and destined to age beautifully.

- JJbangaWine Knowledge Level Cork Dork1 year agoWine Knowledge Level Cork DorkReviewing2022 By Farr ChardonnayRated 4 out of 5 starsgood but not worth the price
This is a very tight, energetic and zippy chardy. Honestly I wouldn't have guessed it was chardonnay if I didn't know. Its more the Chablis style, there is a touch of oak but not really present, more fruit - stone fruit mostly - nectarines and apples, almost Riesling esq. Great mouthfeel and very youthful, as others have said it would benefit from cellaring.
A great chardy, just not quiet what I was looking.
