Farm Hand Organic Chardonnay
Light green in colour with fresh and fruit-driven aromas of citrus and nectarine with subtle creamy notes. The palate is likewise fruit-driven and elegant with excellent purity. Stone-fruits and citrus flavours build to a pleasingly round mouth-feel before being carried to a dry finish by fresh acidity. A very well balanced and attractive Chardonnay that will be a versatile companion to a wide range of seafood and white meats. 

Vidal Reserve Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2025
Bright, juicy and aromatic, the 2025 Sauvignon Blanc Reserve is an easy-to-like style that has all the classic greens of Marlborough with a splash of tropical fruit and a squeeze of lime. Open and fragrant, drink it in its youth for its flamboyant embrace. "2025 New Zealand White Wines: Pump Up the Volume". Drink: 2026 - 2028; Rebecca Gibb MW; Vinous

Take It To The Grave Shiraz 2022
Terrific value here with a bouncy, slurpy edge and a wine literally bursting with slurpy, pure plum, blueberry and boysenberry fruits. Flush with exotic spice and blossomy high tones, fine, sandy tannins swoop in to support to ripe berry and plum fruits and there is a nice seam of acidity providing the pulse. Lots of inherent drinkability and enjoyment here.

Farm Hand Organic Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
The wine is attractively fruited and fragrant on the nose showing blackcurrant, vanilla, almond and floral characters, followed by a beautifully weighted palate that is elegant yet flavoursome. It is silky and lingering with ripe fruit flavours and spicy nuances.. Price: $15.00; Date Tasted: Sept 2019; Rating: 90 Points; Sam Kim; Wine Orbit
