Two Hands
About Two Hands
Founded in 1999 by Michael Twelftree and Richard Mintz, Two Hands stood out as a winery that adopted a Burgundian approach to showcase the “the diversity of Australian Shiraz” from different regions and vineyards at a time when Australian Shiraz took on a rather monotonous style. The year 2000 marked their first vintage and just a few years later, the 2002 and 2003 vintages of their flagship wine, the Ares, earned a magnificent 98 points from Robert Parker, catapulting Two Hands into the league of elite Barossan producers.
In November 2012, Two Hands was named in Wine Spectator's annual Top 100 for the 10th consecutive year, an achievement that has never been equalled by any other winery the world over. 'Quality without compromise' is the core value that drives all Two Hands decisions and, not surprisingly, the wines have received international acclaim from respected wine critics, with Robert Parker proclaiming Two Hands as "the finest negociant operation south of the equator."

Wine Advocate (93)Hints of roasted meat and vanilla accent black cherries and blackberries on the nose of the 2018 Bella's Garden Shiraz. Medium to full-bodied, plush and creamy, yet with enough silky tannin on the finish to give it shape and sense of structure, this is a super introduction to what looks like a terrific Barossa vintage. |

Wine Advocate (93)Peppery and meaty on the nose, the 2017 Charlie's Garden Shiraz is nevertheless ripe and fruity at the same time, with boysenberry and blueberry notes to sustain it across the medium to full-bodied palate. Silky and rich, it picks up hints of mint and licorice on the long finish. |

Wine Advocate (98)Just like last year, this patch of the Eden Valley has turned out a magnificent wine. The 2018 Yacca Block Menglers Hill Shiraz boasts fragrant notes of violets and blueberries spiced with hints of cinnamon, caramel and roasted meat. It's the biggest of the Block wines, labeled at 14.3% alcohol, but despite being full-bodied, comes across as impeccably balanced. It's fleshy and generous, but supple tannins, which turn silky on the lengthy finish, keep the overall impression one of savory elegance. |

Wine Advocate (98)The richest and flat-out sexiest of the single vineyards this year, the 2018 Holy Grail Seppeltsfield Road Seppeltsfield Shiraz offers up a compelling nose of caramelized meat, warm raspberries, vanilla and an array of dried spices. It's full-bodied without being over the top at all (it's labeled at 14.1% alcohol), supple, fleshy and generous yet structured, with a reverberating finish that echoes with fruit and savory nuances. It should be delicious over the course of its entire life, which should be well over a decade. |

Wine Advocate (92)Hints of eucalyptus and bay leaf appear on the nose of the 2017 Samantha's Garden Shiraz. Cola and plum notes fill out the full-bodied palate, balanced by crisp acids and some ripe, supple tannins. Like all of the Garden series wines, it should drink well for a decade. |

Wine Advocate (96-98+)From the Barossa, the 2004 Shiraz Roennfeldt Road Zippy’s Block is pedal-to-the-metal, full-throttle Shiraz fashioned from a single vineyard whose fruit used to be sold to Penfolds for use in their Grange program. There are only 200 cases of this full-bodied effort. It boasts fabulous aromas and flavors of blackberries, cassis, loamy soil, licorice, pepper, and a hint of roasted Provencal herbs. A profound effort, it should keep for 15-20 years. |
