VERY LIMITED STOCKS

appearance

Deep magenta to black in colour.

aroma

Straight out of the gate the bouquet screams Cabernet, with notes of camphor, aniseed, clove, violets, moss, smoke, warm bark and fresh blackcurrants.

palate

The fruit coats your palate on entry, this has a lovely softness to its mouthfeel as pure, juicy fruits roll along the palate. This is smooth and driven. Through the late palate the tannins change and become more savoury and stony, the tannins take over and leave you with a very clean and driving finish. Overall, this is delicious and is a little bit too easy to drink, no hard edges and a strong core of fruit is the order of the day. I get a lot of pleasure from this wine, and it will develop well as all the components are perfectly placed. This wine will be rewarded with cellaring, as its bountiful energy will abate with age, and I am sure there will be a lot here to enjoy when this wine starts to evolve and mature.

winemakers comments

With a strong commitment to the philosophy of ‘quality without compromise’, Two Hands Wines use a strict classification process to ensure that only the best barrels each vintage are deemed worthy of being bottled as a Two Hands product. Six months after vintage, every barrel in the winery is blind tasted by Proprietor Michael Twelftree and the winemaking team and given a classification grade associated with its place in the Two Hands portfolio: from A+ to D (and anything C or below not used in Two Hands fina production). With this focus on detail, it means only the best barrels make it through and quality is maintained even in the toughest vintages, albeit at lower quantities. Each year, only a handful of barrels come in at the top of the class, scoring an A+; these barrels become wines in our Flagship Series. Serious wines that represent the very fines varietal selections from each vintage.
