Two Hands Wines
Michael Twelftree and Richard Mintz established Two Hands Wines in 1999 with the aim of making the best possible Shiraz based wines from prized Shiraz producing regions in Australia. Their intention was and still is to show the diversity of Australian Shiraz by highlighting regional characteristics and allowing the fruit to be the primary feature of Two Hands Wines. By working closely with their growers and having a focus on small batch handling Michael and Richard are able to identify sites and parcels of fruit that produce exceptional examples of regional and varietal definition.
Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep dark red, tending towards magenta at the meniscus.
Aroma
Lovely notes of warmed currants, cocoa dust, lavender, scorched earth and bay leaf.
Palate
Lovely energy and density across the palate. Flavours mirror the aroma with everything in proportion with lovely balance. Tannins emerge through the mid-palate with great density, breadth and flow, pulling everything to a lovely long finish. Notes of cedar and graphite emerge through the finish.
Winemaking
The many parcels making up this wine were crushed into and fermented in open top vessels, with regular pump overs three times daily to extract flavours, colour and tannins. Average time ‘on skins’ was 14 days. The batches were then drained and pressed to tank and then racked to barrel for oak maturation.
