Farm Hand Organic Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Tasting notes from the winery for Farm Hand Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2021

A lighter rendition of this famous blend with subtle aromatics of citrus and passionfruit with a hint of grassy complexity. The palate is fresh and vital with a lemony intensity and a core of bright fruit balanced by zesty acidity. Perfect with a seafood platter.

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.

2021 Vintage: If 2020 was all about the heat, then 2021 will be remembered as the wet season. In many parts
of Australia, it was unseasonably wet in winter but not at critical times to do damage nor impact the resultant
ripeness of the grapes. A cool and dry summer meant even ripening was achieved between dry and rainy spells
and the ensuing fruit quality was excellent and for once yields were up making for a bumper harvest in 2021.

VINYARDS: 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: Fruit is harvested during the early morning hours to retain freshness and partially whole bunch pressed. A fast and precise vinification in stainless steel with minimal oxygen contact maximises fruit expression and aromatics. A cool fermentation (15 to 18 degrees) is undertaken in stainless steel tanks before a short rest on lees prior to bottling.
