Expert Review:
James Halliday-94 Points,  Two Hands’ Garden Series snapshots the mood of 6 shiraz regions, adapting winemaking to highlight the character of each. This is one of the best, quintessential Eden Valley, in all of its spicy, dark-berried glory, thanks to 10–81yo vines on Mengler’s HIll at 460–490m elevation. Wonderful violet fragrance permeates a long palate in a sea of fine-boned tannins, dark chocolate oak and bright acidity.

Two Hands Wines was founded in early 1999 by Michael Twelftree and Richard Mintz.

Their intention was, and still is, to showcase the diversity of Australian Shiraz by highlighting regional characteristics and allowing the fruit to be the primary feature of the wines. Two Hands refers to the very personable approach taken with each parcel of grapes, no matter how big or small. The wines are carefully guided through the viticulture and winemaking process by Michael Twelftree. From the outset, Two Hands set out to be unique. This approach is reflected in everything from the names of the wines through to innovative packaging and, not least, the wines themselves. 'Quality without compromise' is a core value that drives all Two Hands decisions so, 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...' In November 2012, Two Hands was named in the Wine Spectator's annual Top 100 for the 10th consecutive year, an achievement that has never been equaled by any other winery the world over.
