2012 Two Hands Bella's Garden Shiraz

Bella’s Garden is a blend of Two Hands’ best shiraz barrels sourced from the Barossa Valley. The wine is matured for a period of 17 months in a combination of new (20%) and one year old (9%) French oak hogsheads, with the balance in two to five year old barrels.

Ranked No. 16 in Wine Spectators Top 100 this is a Barossa Shiraz of explosive power, imposing concentration and expansive richness.

Totally opaque inky black core with a very deep dark purple black hue. Pronounced aromas of liquorice, ripe blackberries and black cherries are followed by some dark chocolate, vanillin cedar and a whiff of spice as an end note. Super concentrated and flamboyantly rich the palate is engulfed with voluptuous ripe blackberry and liquorice flavours followed by some black cherries, subtle dark chocolate, vanillin cedar and spice. Polished velvety tannins provide underlying structure. Very long succulent blackberry, liquorice, dark chocolate, vanillin oak and spice aftertaste. Outstanding.
Cellar 5-6 years.
