Farm Hand Organic Merlot 2022

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 are perfectly suited to Organic Viticulture. The well-established vines (up to thirty years of age) are planted widely apart for airflow to minimize disease pressure and minimal drip irrigation ensures low yielding fruit with rich flavours and varietal expressiveness.

This recently released 2022 Merlot from the Monash Valley of South Australia is a little gem. Medium bodied with typical black and red berry fruit flavours, it also boasts subtle cigar box, toasted oak and light vanilla characters. The wine is soft and has great length, delivering a very satisfying array of flavours that will marry perfectly with many red meat dishes.

A gorgeously scented and finely structured Merlot, this wine offers terrific value under $15. Be quick!
