Two Hands was formed in 1999 with the clear objective of making the best possible Shiraz from Australia’s top producing Shiraz sites. Proprietors’ Michael Twelftree and Richard Mintz philosophy is quite simple “From the beginning, we have set out to build a wine company that is different in its approach, one that is innovative and not afraid to think outside the square. We want to put some fun back into wine.”

Aged for 12 months in oak of which 12% was new American and the remainder in one to six year old French and American hogsheads.

An irresistible McLaren Vale Shiraz that would leave Angels singing

Outstanding colour saturation and depth displaying an impenetrable inky black core with a very deep dark crimson black hue. Scented aromas of liquorice, ripe blackberries and black cherries are followed by a hint of dark chocolate and vanillin confectionary with pepper end notes. Full, rich and flamboyant the palates succulent fruit flavours seduce the senses with mouthfilling liquorice, blackberry and ripe black cherries to the fore followed by vanillin confectionary, subtlety toasted oak and spice. Plush, opulent mouthfeel with good freshness on the finish. Velvet smooth tannins with a long aftertaste of liquorice, blackberry, black cherry, vanillin confectionary and delicate pepper.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
