By Farr Sangreal Pinot Noir 2012 scored yet another glowing review this time from Ralph Kyte-Powell .. "Few Australian pinot noirs come near Sangreal's sumptuous, varietally pure, succulence.

By Farr Chardonnay 2012 received 94 points from Campbell Mattinson from The Wine Front ..."Geelong chardonnay, masterfully handled.

Spicy, smoky, grapefruit-y aftertaste. Drinking beautifully already."

By Farr Chardonnay 2012 scored an excellent review from James Halliday in his Australian Wine Comapnion 2015 and 96 points ...
