Two Hands Wines

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2012 Lily's Garden is profusely scented of warm blueberries, black plums and blackcurrant cordial with an undercurrent of licorice, mocha and pepper. Very big, full-bodied and packed with ripe black fruit and spice flavors, it has a medium to firm backbone of velvety tannins and just enough acidity. It finishes long and with a nice savory edge.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2012 Bella's Garden Shiraz has a nose of blackberry preserves and warm cassis with hints of menthol, dark chocolate, cardamom and cedar. Full-bodied and richly fruited in the mouth, the abundant fruit is well matched by firm, rounded tannins and refreshing acid before finishing with great length.

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.

Open and expressive with fragrant dark fruit and sweet oak spice.  Complemented by a touch of eucalyptus on the palate – concentrated and intense yet supple and refined. Flows nicely, balanced by acidity.

Rich and yet focused, these Single vineyard offerings brim with blackberry and blueberry fruit. The palate is unctuous but not overwhelming and the background hints at a more savoury, old world sensibility.  A lovely persistence on the finish.

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.
