By Farr's GC Chardonnay represents the pinnacle of cool-climate Australian winemaking from Geelong, Victoria, showcasing what single-vineyard focus and meticulous craft can achieve. GC stands for Gary Charles—founder Gary Farr's personal commitment to his flagship expression and life's work in wine. The Côte vineyard, planted at high density on North-facing hillsides in the Moorabool Valley, yields grapes of extraordinary concentration despite challenging growing conditions. This 2023 vintage shows pale golden color with aromas of white peach, citrus blossom, and subtle struck-match complexity from careful winemaking. On the palate, the wine is fine yet firm—delicate in texture but demanding in structure and requiring contemplation. Fermentation in 30% new French oak with indigenous yeasts and complete malolactic conversion, followed by 11 months of lees aging with regular bâtonnage, creates creamy richness balanced by underlying minerality. The wine possesses impressive length and aging potential. This is Chardonnay for contemplative sipping and serious cellaring over the next decade.

More about By Farr

Gary Farr and his son Nick have worked countless vintages in Burgundy, developing a deep relationship with legends like Jeremy Seysses and Dominique Lafon. Their Moorabool Valley vineyard in Geelong produces Pinot Noir with Old World inspiration and New World fruit—stemmy, red-fruited, mineral-driven Pinot that proves Australia can make serious cool-climate wine. The quality has only improved; their latest Pinots are genuinely closer to great Burgundy than they've ever been. This is wine from the Southern Hemisphere that earns respect on its own terms.
