Farm Hand Cabernet Sauvignon Organic

The Farm Hand wines are grown by the Grigoriou family, fourth generation wine growers, from almost 100 acres of Organic Vineyards in the Monash Valley of South Australia. The moderate, dry climate with very low rainfall during autumn and fertile soils is perfectly suited for Organic Viticulture. The well established vines are planted widely apart for airflow to minimize disease pressure and minimal drip irrigation ensures low yielding fruit with rich flavors and varietal expressiveness.

The grapes are fully destemmed 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.

The nose is lifted and expressive, displaying mellow red fruits, a herbal perfume and notes of mocha oak. The palate is likewise open and medium bodied with blackcurrant, olive and mulberry flavours matched by subtle notes of tobacco. The wine is generous in the mid palate before soft tannin and bright acidity carry the wine to a lingering finish.
