The Story

Tasting Notes for Farm Hand Merlot 2021 from the Winery

The Farm Hand wines are grown by the Grigoriou family, fourth-generation wine growers, from almost one hundred acres of Organic Vineyards in the Monash Valley of South Australia.

Vineyard

The moderate, dry climate with very low rainfall during autumn and fertile soils are perfectly suited to Organic Viticulture. The well established vines (up to thirty years of age) are planted widely apart for airflow to minimise disease pressure and minimal drip irrigation ensures low yielding fruit with rich flavours and varietal expressiveness

Winemaking

Fully de-stemmed before fermentation in a mix of open and closed tanks. The wine was primarily vinified without the influence of oak for maximum fruit expression before blending with a component aged in three and four year old French oak.

"A bold ripe fruit style with lots going on. The primary fruit characters are layered with subtle oak and powerful acidity."

We embrace drink less and drink better — every bottle here is chosen for its flavour, integrity and authenticity, so you can relax and pour with confidence. We’re so glad you’ve found us, and we always love hearing what you think.
