Two Hands Wines,
For laying down,
Ares is the flagship Shiraz and represents the very best parcels in each vintage. This wine truly exemplifies the art of barrel selection in the search for the best wine. Before bottling, Michael Twelftree and his winemakers methodically taste through all 1,800 to 2,200 barrels in the winery before making the decision of what should go into the Ares.
“The estate’s Tete de Cuvee. The nose is full of intense macerated morello cherry with hints of cigar box and mocha. The wines is no shrinking violet on the palate either – the wine stains the palate with deep black and blue fruit, the richness is balanced out though with a fine acidity alongside the long and sweet tannic structure. A monolithic wine and yet finely toned.

Two Hands Wines,
Ready, but will keep,
The Single Vineyard series begins with the 2006 Shiraz Zippy’s Block Roennfeldt Road, located in the Marananga sub-district of Barossa, an address made famous by Greenock Creek Vineyards and Cellar. A glass-coating opaque purple color, it exhibits a complex, expressive nose of pain grille, spice box, scorched earth, plum, and blueberry. This is followed by a mouth-filling, voluminous Shiraz with opulent blue and black fruits, savory flavors, and an exceptionally long, silky finish. Cellar it for five years and drink it from 2013 to 2026.
Two Hands is a negociant operation run impeccably by Michael Twelftree. It reflects the best that can be sourced from all over South Australia. The packaging provides some serious design competition to the Dan Philips R Wine portfolio. The Garden Series is Shiraz sourced from a wide range of South Australia vineyards.

Two Hands Wines was formed in 1999 by Michael Twelftree and Richard Mintz, with the objective to produce the best Shiraz based wines of Australia.
Michael Twelftree, spent a number of years exporting Australian Wine to the USA and Asia. Richard Mintz, was formerly C.E.O. of one of Australia's leading Cooperage's in the Barossa Valley, South Australia. With Twelftree's contacts and wine savvy approach and Mintz's management skills and business acumen, the two friends decided to make wine together.
In 2000, they started with just 17 tonnes of fruit from McLaren Vale and Padthaway wine regions. From the beginning the wines were very well received at home and abroad with a healthy stream of reviews culminating in, being voted `Best New Producer' in the 2003/2004 Penguin Good Australian Wine Guide by Huon Hooke and Ralph Kyte-Powell.
