The 2025 vintage in Geelong continues By Farr's commitment to cool-climate Chardonnay production, with vineyard management focused on optimal fruit quality, natural balance, and sustainable viticulture practices. Canopy management, including leaf-plucking and shoot selection, remains central to the winery's approach to managing yield and achieving phenolic maturity. By Farr's sustainable farming practices maintain soil health whilst reducing reliance on external chemical inputs. The 2025 growing season in Victoria presented moderate conditions with balanced spring temperatures and generally stable summer conditions, supporting healthy Chardonnay ripening and development of the acidity essential to the region's cool-climate style. The conditions favoured wines with concentration and natural freshness, reflecting Geelong's maritime influence and volcanic/limestone terroir.

The 2025 Chardonnay is vinified according to By Farr's established protocols: hand-harvesting, whole-bunch pressing to preserve aromatics, and spontaneous fermentation in French oak with appropriate new oak selection reflecting vintage character. Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally in barrel, building texture and complexity. The wine remains in barrel with lees contact for 10–11 months, developing depth and richness whilst careful oak management ensures balance and allows regional character and vintage expression to emerge clearly. This approach maintains By Farr's trademark combination of concentration with food-friendly elegance.
