- Australia
- Shiraz
- ABV 14.7
- Zalto Denk'Art Bordeaux Glass
Mike Bennie (Wine Front) "From Moppa Springs. A Secret Block, nonetheless…
Very perfumed, very satiny, lithe and pure-feeling with great coverage of fruit, spice, wood, tannin and sundry savoury flavours. A broad spectrum, complex red of potency and slick feel with maltiness the lingering finish. Hefty, but has this lift and drive. It’s very good, bolder red, though you’d say the booziness/breathy feel to finish is the quibble."
Joe Czerwinski (robertparker.com) "Faint whiffs of woodsmoke mark the nose of the 2019 Secret Block Wildlife Road Moppa Hills Shiraz, adding a welcome savory, meaty note to the bold blackberry and blueberry fruit. It's medium to full-bodied, concentrated and ripe without being over the top at all. Nicely proportioned and balanced, with a silky-velvety feel and a long, harmonious finish, this should drink well for at least a decade or so."
Two Hands Wines have become a beacon for artisan, single vineyard Shiraz in Barossa Valley as well as other premier regions in South Australia. Winning admiration from leading critics around the globe such as Robert Parker, James Halliday and Jancis Robinson demonstrates that the wines are far from one-dimensional in their outstanding balance, structure and elegance. Further testament of this came in 2012 when the estate was named in Wine Spectator’s Top 100 for the 10th consecutive year.
Both from négociant fruit in McLaren Vale, The Two Hands Lily’s Garden and their Bella’s Garden Shiraz are single vineyard expressions of Shiraz combining ripe black fruit wrapped in chocolate and smoky richness. Lily’s Garden is widely regarded as the more approachable of the two when young with Bella’s Garden having the staying power of a premium red Rhone, avoiding the often jammy character found in other examples from the region.
Two Hands were featured more times than any other producer on the Barossa Super 100 Classification, a list of some of the most highly regarded and collectable wines from Barossa drawn up by the Barossa Grape and Association, which saw its inaugural launch in 2019. Two hands have have an incredible eight wines on the list including their My Hands, which is one of only seven wines featured in the above $500 dollars category.
