Classic varietal Shiraz that is flavoursome and fresh with red-berried fruit, plums, subtle spice with a hint of savoury oak. The palate is nicely medium nodied and approachable with dark berry and hints of dark cocoa underpinned by soft, approachable tannins.

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.

Spring was cooler than usual and with more rain events bringing soil moisture levels up. Summer likewise was cool yet with enough sunny days to enable beautiful albeit slower ripening. This made for a later vintage than prior years, but the resultant fruit quality is very, very good.

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.

Food Pairing: Great with a chargrilled steak.
