By Farr Tout Pres Pinot Noir 2022

Country: Australia
Region and Appellation: Geelong

By Farr Tout Pres Pinot Noir 2022 stands as the flagship pinot noir from By Farr, representing the estate's most densely planted vineyard with 7,300 vines per hectare—hence its name translating to "very cosy". This exceptional Australia red wine commands a Vivino rating of 4.3 from over 1,500 users, consistently earning acclaim from wine enthusiasts worldwide.

What Sets It Apart

Unlike the more approachable Farrside bottling, Tout Pres delivers the largest flavor profile and intensity among By Farr's pinot range, utilizing 100% whole bunch fermentation and 100% new French Allier oak. Planted in 2001 on three distinct slopes—black volcanic soil over limestone, quartz gravel with red ironstone, and grey sandy loam—this wine offers masculine structure and age-worthiness rarely found in Australian pinot.

Critics' Acclaim

Renowned critic Huon Hooke awarded an outstanding 98 points, praising its "rich ripe dark cherry that floods the palate with succulent sweet fruit flavour and beautifully balanced fine-grained tannins," declaring it has "wow factor". Campbell Mattinson describes it as "an affair to remember" with cellaring potential through 2040.
