Two Hands Wines was founded in early 1999 by Michael Twelftree and Richard Mintz. Their intention 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.
The 2020 Two Hands Gnarly Dudes Shiraz is dripping in spiced plums, vibrant blackberries and chocolate, with fresh flowers and cedary oak on the side. Its structure speaks of bright acid and tight tannins ensuring a long, pure palate. Sweet and delicious this Shiraz is all about power and intensity without heaviness.
"93 Points Blackberry, liquorice and dried mint, a bit of the old earth and spice. Dark fruit flavour, good balance and especially, a solid sort of sessionability here for a Barossa Shiraz, some char and chew to tannin, and a long but slightly gummy finish. Nice one."- Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, 25 March, 2021.
