Farm Hand Monash Valley Organic Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 (Australia)

Description

Blackberry, Chocolate, Oak

A fresh and vibrant organic Cabernet bursting with black fruits, a slight herbal edge and notes of dark chocolate. The palate is medium bodied with blackcurrant, blackberry and olive flavours matched by subtle notes of tobacco. The wine is vibrant with dark purple fruit and soft tannins which provide a long finish.

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 albiet slower ripening. This made for a later vintage than prior years, but the resultant fruit quality is very, very good.

Full 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.
