Super concentrated and commanding, it has the classic iron fist in a velvet-glove style of powerful elegance. The nose is composed and fragrant with rich dark-cherry fruits, bergamot, fresh foresty aromas and cola; oak is beautifully integrated. The palate has impeccable balance from start to finish. Dense and yet silky. The tannins build evenly and the wine flows effortlessly, delivering dark spiced cherry flavor with essence-like concentration. This has all the class of Grand Cru Burgundy. Drink now and for up to 10+ years.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout This Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTout Pres was planted in 2001 and is a very special and intriguing site. It rises above the other vineyards, and each of the three slopes consists of a different soil type. The largest slope is black volcanic soil over limestone; the second is quartz gravel mixed with red ironstone; the third is an iron strand in grey sandy loam. The clones are 113, 114, 115, 667, 777 and MV6.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTout Pres is fermented with 100 per cent whole bunches in a five-tonne oak fermenter. This wine has the largest flavour profile and intensity, to absorb 100 per cent new French oak from Allier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eProducer Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith every year that passes, the Tout Pres vineyard’s subtleness and delicate fruit structure are becoming increasingly pronounced in the wine. The bouquet fills the glass with spicy fruit, mineral elements and a hint of integrated French oak, with the darkness and essence of the Moorabool Valley true expressions of site. This wine exhibits primary and secondary flavours, which strengthen the overall integration for a seamless finish. It is a tightly packed combination of plums and undergrowth with an edgy acidity—and one of our favourite drops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage: 2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGrape Variety: Pinot Noir\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRegion: Geelong \/ Victoria \/ Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFermentation: Barrel Fermented\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMaturation: Oaked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eProduction Attributes: Barrel Fermented\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eVineyard: Tout Pres Vineyard (planted 2001; volcanic, limestone, quartz gravel, ironstone, sandy loam soils)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAlcohol: 13.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSweetness: Dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eOwnership: Gary and Robyn Farr\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eClosure: Cork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDrinking Window: 2019–2029\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"para pt-5 ml-3 mr-6 lg--mr-0 lg--ml-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"c-off-white w-64ch\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAwards \u0026amp; Ratings\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e94 pts – The Wine Front (Apr 2019)\u003cbr\u003e93 pts – James Suckling (May 2019)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout This Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA benchmark expression from Geelong, Victoria, the Tout Pres vineyard was planted in 2001 and stands as one of By Farr’s most distinctive sites.\u003cbr\u003ePerched above the other vineyards, it features three unique soil types — black volcanic over limestone, quartz gravel mixed with red ironstone, and iron strand in grey sandy loam.\u003cbr\u003ePlanted with clones 113, 114, 115, 667, 777, and MV6, this vineyard has evolved into a site of remarkable complexity and individuality.\u003cbr\u003eOwned and crafted by Gary and Robyn Farr, Tout Pres captures the essence of the Moorabool Valley with remarkable precision and understated power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAromas of spicy red fruit, forest floor, and mineral hints layered with subtle French oak.\u003cbr\u003eThe palate is densely packed with dark plum, undergrowth, and savoury spice, showing fine acidity and great depth.\u003cbr\u003eElegant and tightly structured, with seamless integration between fruit, tannin, and oak — a true reflection of its terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Maturation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVariety: 100% Pinot Noir\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegion: Geelong, Victoria, Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVineyard: Tout Pres (planted 2001)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermentation: 100% whole bunch in 5-tonne oak fermenters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAging: 100% new French oak (Allier)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOak Type: French\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcohol: 13.5% vol\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClosure: Cork\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOwnership: Gary and Robyn Farr\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrinking Window: 2020–2030\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProducer Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith every passing year, the Tout Pres vineyard shows greater subtlety and definition.\u003cbr\u003eThe bouquet is filled with spice, mineral tones, and dark fruit depth, while the palate delivers a seamless combination of primary and secondary flavours for a long, harmonious finish.\u003cbr\u003ePowerful yet restrained — a signature of the By Farr philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVersatile and refined; pairs beautifully with duck, lamb cutlets, or truffle-infused pasta.\u003cbr\u003eEqually suited to game dishes and aromatic cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51046298943803,"sku":"SK27391710","price":219.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/1540\/7675\/files\/By_Farr_Tout_Pres_Pinot_Noir_750ml_0d006b6b-878b-4893-b6a7-0c4db28c9854.png?v=1777596640","url":"https:\/\/craftrepublic.com.au\/products\/2015-by-farr-tout-pres-pinot-noir-750ml","provider":"Craft Republic Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
