Winery Background
Farm Hand is dedicated to creating organic wines that are true to variety, sustainably produced, and full of natural character. Their Merlot highlights the approachability and softness that makes this grape such a favorite, while staying true to the purity and balance expected from organic viticulture.

Vineyards and Vintage Conditions
The 2024 season in South Australia was marked by warm, even ripening conditions that encouraged generous fruit flavours while cooler nights preserved freshness. Organically managed vineyards yielded Merlot with ripe tannins, lifted aromatics, and plush berry character.

Winemaking Process
Grapes were picked at optimal ripeness and fermented in small batches to preserve fruit integrity. Gentle extraction techniques ensured soft tannins and smooth texture, while maturation in seasoned oak provided subtle spice and depth without overshadowing the fruit-driven style.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby red in colour. Aromas of plum, red cherry, and mulberry are layered with hints of cocoa and spice. The palate is soft and supple, offering juicy red fruits, silky tannins, and a smooth, rounded finish.

Food Pairing
Pairs well with roast pork, grilled lamb chops, or Mediterranean-inspired vegetable dishes.

Story Behind the Wine
This Organic Merlot is crafted to showcase the variety’s natural softness and generosity, making it an easy-drinking yet characterful wine. It embodies Farm Hand’s philosophy — pure, honest, and organically grown for today’s wine drinker.
