Farm Hand Monash Valley Organic Shiraz 2022 (Australia)

Description

• French oak
• Red berries
• Dark cocoa
• Medium bodied

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 bodied and approachable with dark berry and hints of dark cocoa underpinned by soft, approachable tannins.

A La Nina season brought much welcomed rain over the winter months and continued in providing a mild spring and summer. The cooler than average weather during harvest resulted in a longer ripening period which facilitated fragrant and elegant fruits in red wines and a seamless acid and tannin balance.

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.

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.

Food Pairing: Great with a chargrilled steak.
