Here are the great new releases from 2020 by Two Hands.

Two Hands

July 6, 2022

One of the outstanding houses in South Australia, the tale of of Two Hands dates back to 1999 when founders Michael Twelftree and Richard Mintz sat at a friend's engagement party and decided it was time to make their own wine and be judged by the world. We are all so glad that they did. Their Garden Series wines have been internationally known and immediately received critical acclaim as well as their ‘Angel’s Share’ Shiraz also getting great press. Two Hands’ first vintage was in 2000, after a modest $30k investment and starting with just 17 tonnes of fruit.  The journey had started. Michael’s wine contacts in the US and UK helped launch the brand and also helped Two Hands increase production to launch their full Garden Series with the 2003 vintage. The rest has been history.

I had the chance to visit with Michael during the pandemic and we talked about their success and new wines that offer seriously good value. Don’t miss out on the 2020 Two Hands ‘Gnarly Dudes’ Shiraz (OB, 92) which displays beautiful freshness alongside intense dark fruit flavors. Just as good was the 2020 Two Hands ‘Angel’s Share’ Shiraz (OB, 92) which is dense and shows great floral tones.

2020 Two Hands ‘Gnarly Dudes’ Shiraz- The 2020 ‘Gnarly Dudes’ Shiraz was aged for 12 months in French oak (13%) prior to bottling. Heady boysenberry cordial, scorched earth and black olives combine with a good underlying freshness on the palate. Enjoy this outstanding value over the next eight years. Drink 2022-20230- 92

2020 Two Hands ‘Angels’ Share’ Shiraz- Sourced from McLaren Vale, the 2020 Angels’ Share was stored in 12% new French oak for 14 moths before bottling. The wine comes off very perfumed with red rose petals and chocolate cake tones alongside intense dark fruits. Very well-structured with espresso grounds, blackberry compote, and smoked brisket flavors, with beef dripping undertones, this is delicious Shiraz to consume now and over the next eight years. Drink 2022-2030- 92
