By Farr ‘Sangreal’ Pinot Noir 2023

Cool-climate Pinot with serious pedigree 🍒🌿

The 2023 By Farr ‘Sangreal’ Pinot Noir is a benchmark expression of Geelong terroir —crafted by one of Australia’s most respected Pinot producers. And the accolades keep rolling in: By Farr was just named Winery of the Year 2025 by The Real Review, cementing its place as a leader in Australian wine.

Sourced from the estate’s oldest Pinot blocks, Sangreal is recognised as a Classified (Second Growth) in Langton’s Classification and leans into elegance and complexity. Expect sour cherry and forest floor, lifted by bright acidity, plenty of spice, and fine, savoury tannins. It’s earthy, detailed and full of tension—the kind of Pinot that reveals more with every swirl.

Structured yet graceful, this is a wine for collectors and serious Pinot drinkers alike—from a producer that continues to set the standard.

What the experts say about this wine

"The evolution of this site and wine is complexing, gone are the days of words being used like bold, brash and muscular. Now two decades of releasing the wine, the description is fine, vibrate and ethereal. This wine has a retained nose for the moment, but the mouthfeel is almost jubilant in comparison. Even against the Sangreal, this feels plush and luxurious. A soft creamy and varietal ripeness, all swirling around to deliver lots of pleasure. It’s texturally generous and provides a nice counterpoint to the tight, edgy flavours of spice and pepper that is Farrside."

Nick Farr, Winemaker
