Shiraz By Farr 2022

Description

Shiraz by Farr 2022 showcases the Farr family’s signature approach to cool‑climate winemaking: purity, structure, and site expression. Crafted by Nick Farr from mature vines in the Moorabool Valley, this wine leans into elegance rather than power, offering lifted aromatics, silky tannins, and a long, savoury finish. A benchmark Australian Shiraz with Burgundian finesse.
