Father Gary and son Nick Farr have merged their businesses, although the two labels (by Farr and Farr Rising) will continue. The estate plantings of pinot noir, chardonnay, shiraz and viognier cover the varieties made under the labels; whether Nick will continue to source grapes from the Mornington Peninsula remains to be seen. The combined production represents an even split for each of the two brands. The Farrs make exceptionally complex Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the Shiraz/Syrah/Viognier equally meritorious. Exports to the Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan and Maldives.
