Our Review
The ‘hands’ in question were originally those of founders Michael Twelftree and Richard Mintz. Grapes are sourced from the Barossa Valley (where the business has 40ha of shiraz), McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Eden Valley, the Adelaide Hills and Heathcote. The emphasis is on sweet fruit and soft tannin structure, all signifying the precise marketing strategy of what is a very successful business. In '15 Two Hands embarked on an extensive planting program using vines propagated from a number of vineyards (including Prouse Eden Valley, Wendouree 1893, Kaelser Alte Reben, Penfolds Modbury, Kays Block 6, Kalimna 3C), as well as a high-density 1.4ha clos (a walled vineyard) with bush vines trained to stakes, known as echalas, in the style of terraced vineyards in the northern Rhône Valley. -JAMES HALLIDAY
