Aromatic and fresh, with violet, sage and fresh earth notes and plenty of baking spice to accent the wild blackberry, blueberry and spiced plum flavors, which linger on a juicy, velvety frame. Drink now.-WS

Largely dark-fruited, the 2019 Bella's Garden Shiraz boasts scents of blackberries, plums and cola. It's medium to full-bodied, supple and almost creamy in texture, finishing with savory notes of black olive and spice. While it's not as flamboyant as some of the other Garden series wines this year, it shows remarkable harmony and complexity.-RP

Rich concentrated black on black. Gentle and slow aromatics of blueberry, raspberries, fresh ground pepper, wet river rocks, blood plum, fresh cigar and fresh backed Rhubarb souffle. This hits the mouth with a medium weight and then the race begins. It unfurls like rolling of a sail, never boring or uninteresting. It just penetrates and keeps pumping away, with not a whisker out of place. This wine pitches deep but then the fruit weight and slow-moving texture takes over. It is admirable in its evenness and at the end of the ride you are left with a mouthful of very persistent tannins with a slight meaty edge and underlining deep minerally energy.-Winemaker Notes

The idea for Two Hands was born in September 1999 when founders Michael Twelftree and Richard Mintz sat at a friends engagement party and decided it was time to make their own wine and market it on the world stage.
The original aim was, and still is, to make the best possible Shiraz-based wines from prized growing regions throughout Australia. With so much Australian wine being sold around the globe under multi-region labels in a formulaic style, the intention was to break the mold and showcase the diversity of Australian Shiraz by highlighting regional and vineyard characteristics by allowing the fruit to be the primary feature of the wines.
Quality without compromise is central to the Two Hands philosophy, driving all the decisions from fruit and oak selection to packaging and promotion. From the outset, Two Hands set out to be unique and innovative, this approach is reflected in everything from the names of the wines through to, not least, the wines themselves. From small beginnings, the winery has been able to manage its growth organically whilst maintaining an absolute quality focus. Premium fruit is sourced from the finest Shiraz growing regions in Australia, and Two Hands works closely with its estate vineyards and band of growers to ensure the full potential of each vineyard is reached. They handle every parcel of fruit, however small, separately from crushing through to fermentation and oak maturation to ensure complexity and personality in the finished wines.
In its simplest form, it could be said that they squeeze the grapes and put them in a bottle. However, in practice there are many different steps and countless hours involved, from vineyard, through to winemaking, tasting, blending and maturation in order to make consistent, quality wines.-Winery Notes
