By Farr GC Cote Vineyard Chardonnay 2023

Country: Australia
Region and Appellation: Geelong

By Farr GC Côte Vineyard Chardonnay 2023 represents the pinnacle of chardonnay Australia excellence, named after founder Gary Charles Farr's four decades of winemaking mastery.

Exceptional Terroir & Winemaking

Sourced from meticulously high-density plantings on exposed hillsides with diverse terroir—from red-brown loam with buckshot stones to black volcanic soil with fragmented limestone—this flagship white wine showcases the unique character of Geelong's Moorabool Valley. Hand-picked fruit undergoes whole-bunch pressing and natural fermentation in 50% new French oak, creating remarkable smoothness and mineral complexity.

Award-Winning Recognition

Leading Australian wine critic Huon Hooke, who has judged internationally for over 40 years and writes for The Real Review and Decanter, awarded it an outstanding 98 points. He praises its "roasted hazelnut and lemon curd aromas" with "intense and precise" palate, "beautifully focused and concentrated yet with great poise and finesse". The wine delivers textured fruit, mineral depth, and a refreshingly dry finish with cellaring potential through 2038. This is By Farr at its finest—a complete chardonnay that demands attention.
