Why we follow By Farr

The estate

Gary Farr was the inaugural winemaker at Bannockburn Vineyards from 1978 and spent ten vintages at Domaine Dujac in Burgundy. He and Robyn Farr bought the neighbouring property in 1994 and established By Farr. Their son Nick Farr now leads the winemaking, working with his wife Cassie, while Gary and Robyn remain involved. The estate farms close-planted vines on several distinct soil types in the Moorabool Valley near Bannockburn, and is known for single-block Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Farr Rising is a companion label made in a different style, not a second tier.

How allocations are offered

Registering is not a commitment

It records which producers and wines interest you, so we know who to contact when a release is confirmed.

Quantities are genuinely limited

Availability depends on what arrives and how many customers are waiting. In some years there is very little to go round.

Lamont’s allocates personally

Our team considers purchase history, genuine interest and intended enjoyment. We would rather a case went to someone who will open it and tell us what they thought than to whoever asked first.

Change what you follow at any time from My allocation requests. Release timing moves with the producer and the vintage, so the months on the release calendar are a guide rather than a promise.
