Join us for a taste of Australia as we explore Two Hands Wines (located in Marananga, South Australia) with Two Hands' National Brand Manager, Victoria Logan, along with Terlato Wines International Fine Wine Educator, Tim Clark. Ms. Logan and Mr. Clark will guide us through an exceptional selection of Two Hands' wine and you'll learn first hand why this vineyard produces some of the finest wine in the world.
The idea for Two Hands was born in September 1999 when its founders, Michael Twelftree and Richard Mintz, sat at a friend's engagement party and decided it was time to make their own wine and market it on the world stage.
The original aim was, and still is, to make the best possible Shiraz-based wines from prized growing regions throughout Australia. With so much Australian wine being sold around the globe under multi-region labels in a formulaic style, the intention was to break the mold and showcase the diversity of Australian Shiraz by highlighting regional and vineyard characteristics by allowing the fruit to be the primary feature of the wines.
Quality without compromise is central to the Two Hands philosophy, driving all the decisions from fruit and oak selection to packaging and promotion. From the outset, Two Hands set out to be unique and innovative, this approach is reflected in everything from the names of the wines through to, not least, the wines themselves. From small beginnings, the winery has been able to manage its growth organically while maintaining an absolute quality focus. Premium fruit is sourced from the finest Shiraz growing regions in Australia, and Two Hands works closely with its estate vineyards and band of growers to ensure the full potential of each vineyard is reached. They handle every parcel of fruit, however small, separately from crushing through to fermentation and oak maturation to ensure complexity and personality in the finished wines.
In its simplest form, it could be said that they squeeze the grapes and put them in a bottle. However, in practice there are many different steps and countless hours involved, from vineyard, through to winemaking, tasting, blending and maturation in order to make consistent, quality wines. All of their hardwork has led to tremendous accolades, including being named in the Wine Spectator's annual Top 100 10 consecutive years in a row. This is an achievement without equal in the world of wine.
The tasting includes a phenomenal selection of wines (4 bottles with your order) that have been handpicked by Ms. Logan herself and paired with a wonderful charcuterie & cheese board creation by Bentwater's Certified Master Chef, Olivier Andreini.
