"Our focus changes to indoor comforts"

It is always a tough call following in the footsteps of a successful father in the same profession and in the wine industry, most do it rather well. Given the growing of grapes is primarily an agricultural pursuit, inheriting a fell for the land is an obvious advantage. Nick Farr's label 'farr rising' is something his father, Gary of Bannockburn fame, would be proud of. His latest release of Geelong Pinot Noir wows with farmyard aromas, spice and cherry, giving way to a Burgundian styled full bodied palate with complexity and balance which make a mockery of the winemaker's relative youth.
A luxury wine for the indulgent few - experience what drinking a premium Pinot Noir is all about.
