Immersed in the deeply traditional French approach to winemaking, he brought this exacting philosophy back to the Moorabool Valley in \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"306\"\u003eGeelong\u003c\/b\u003e, Victoria. Today, the estate is meticulously run by his son, Nick Farr, who has elevated their small-batch production to undisputed cult status among collectors of fine \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"483\"\u003eAustralian wine\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eThe secret to their incredible concentration lies in the demanding nature of the vineyards. The vines are planted in a notoriously harsh, cool-climate terroir that forces them to work remarkably hard to survive. This constant struggle naturally restricts the yields, producing small bunches of intensely flavoured grapes. Because the fruit is so pristine, the approach in the cellar is famously hands-off and uncompromising.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eThe Farr family relies exclusively on natural indigenous yeasts and whole-bunch fermentation for their red wines.

Gary spent over a decade making wine in Burgundy and brought that deeply traditional mindset back to Victoria. They grow this specific wine on a highly exposed site in Geelong, planted on really tough, black volcanic soil. The vines have to work incredibly hard just to survive the elements, which means they produce very few grapes, but the ones they do grow are packed with immense, concentrated flavour. In the glass, it is a big, brooding red. It is full of dark cherry and plum, but what really makes it stand out is this deep, savoury, earthy edge. They keep a lot of the grape bunches whole when they ferment it, which gives the wine a really firm structure and a brilliant peppery bite, rather than just being a simple fruit bomb. It is a fantastic, complex wine. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eWith its robust structure and earthy depth, this sophisticated red wine demands rich, savoury dishes. It is a superb companion for a classic roasted duck breast, a slow-cooked venison casserole, or a deeply flavoured wild mushroom risotto.

The name translates as \"very cosy\" referring to the densely packed vineyard where these vines grow side by side. Forced to compete fiercely for water and nutrients in the tough volcanic soil, the vines produce tiny amounts of incredibly flavourful, dark grapes. To capture the sheer power of this vineyard, the fruit is fermented using natural wild yeasts and the bunches are left completely whole during the process. This traditional method gives the wine a remarkably firm, savoury backbone. It is then aged in French oak barrels to soften and mature before bottling. In the glass, it is deeply coloured and brooding. You will find bold aromas of dark plum and black cherry mixed with rich forest floor and a distinct peppery spice. When you take a sip, it is powerful and earthy, driven by a strong tannin structure that lingers long after the final drop. Because this \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"13\"\u003ered wine\u003c\/b\u003e is so robust and deeply savoury, it needs a serious plate of food to match.
