Farm Hand Monash Valley Organic Chardonnay 2024 (Australia)

Description

Cream, Grapefruit, Nectarine

Distinct fruit-driven aromas of citrus and nectarine with subtle creamy notes. The palate displays stone-fruit and citrus fruit flavours of great purity leading to a pleasingly round mouthfeel.

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.

The moderate, dry climate with very low rainfall during autumn and fertile soils is perfect 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.

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 maturation on lees for four months.

Food Pairing: Incredibly refreshing and will pair nicely with heavier styled white sauce pasta.
