Two Hands SOPHIE'S GARDEN Shiraz Padthaway South Australia
Description: 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'. Sourced from a vineyard located in the south west of Padthaway. What's interesting about this vineyard is that there are two distinctly different soil types, on one hand you have deep black sand on the other red clay over limestone . Each producing a different style of Shiraz which blend harmoniously together after being matured for 16 months in predominantly French oak, 20% of which was new. This is an excellent example of what this region is about and confirms our faith in Padthaway as a premium Australian Shiraz producing region. Almost black at the core with a purple rim. A little shy to begin but once opened up shows Asian spice and scented dark black fruits. A powerful full bodied palate with fine grained mouth coating tannins; concentrated upfront fruit that continues right across the palate. Although a big wine it shows focus; the fruit concentration carries the alcohol to offer a finely balanced wine of power and intensity. (12 x 75 cl)
