Two Hands BRILLIANT DISGUISE Moscato Frizzante Barossa Valley

The 'two hands' are Michael Twelftree and Richard Mintz who formed the company in 1999 with the clear objective of making the best possible Shiraz based wines from prized Shiraz producing regions within Australia. Michael Twelftree, initially from a construction background, spent a number of years exporting Australian Wine to the USA and Asia. Richard Mintz a chartered accountant, was formerly C.E.O. of one of Australia's leading Cooperage's in the Barossa Valley, South Australia. With Twelftree's contacts and wine savvy approach and Mintz's management skills and business acumen, the two old friends decided to make some wine together. In 2000 they started with just 17 tonnes of fruit from the McLaren Vale and Padthaway wine regions. From the beginning the wines were very well received at home and abroad with a healthy stream of reviews culminating in 2004 with Robert M. Parker pronouncing Two Hands as 'the finest negociant operation south of the equator'. This wine is made from 100% Muscat Blanc or as it is known locally White Frontignac, and is sourced from 80 and 100 year old vines which has given the wine greater depth. Pale straw colour with delicious aromas of guava and an aromatic grapey musk perfume, give way to a light bodied delicate palate. Also evident is a gentle sweetness balanced by refreshing acidity, exotic fruit flavours and a lively spritz. (12 x 50 cl)

With a Groucho Marx label the wine has a black, ink jet colour with a slight cherry red flicker. The bouquet is all baking spice, cloves, mints, herb garden, plums, cedar and rhubarb with flour bag, cola and rose oil. The Palate is grippy, bright with an array of cherries, Full-bodied, with superb concentration, good delineation, and a rich, layered mid palate. The wine has a great punch of initial fruit that is backed by a burst of acid in the mid palate that drives the fruit to a long finish backed by fine tannins. This is a real finesse wine that shows the potential of Australian wines with more careful oak selections. (12 x 75 cl)

Brick red, magenta hues. Lifted characters of ripe red, berries, chocolate, liquorice, cloves and subtle cedary oak. Palate shows intense sweet fruit early and is persistent, balanced by savoury tannins that build through the middle and lingers to the end. The palate is also supported by a subtle chocolate character and balanced soft acid. (12 x 75 cl)
