[SOLD-OUT] Two Hands Windmill Block Shiraz 2017

ROBERT PARKER 95 POINTS!

"Rich and earthy, the blackberry-scented 2017 Windmill Block Single Vineyard Stonewell Shiraz is a full-bodied, full-throttle example of Barossa Shiraz. Open-knit and velvety on the palate, it's a dark-fruited wonder that drinks well already, yet it should age well for 10-15 years." - Wine Advocate  

"Two Hands’ Single Vineyard wines take regionality to a high level by focussing on sites that justify individual treatment by consistently producing wines of distinctive style with particular qualities. They are simply named after the block, the road or the township they come from.

Hands-on proprietor Michael Twelftree has identified key sites that have the X-factor. The Windmill Block at Stonewell in the Barossa Valley is one, lying within a larger vineyard that has provided the backbone for many of Two Hands’ best wines. It is always one of the first blocks to ripen and typically makes magical, dense, velvety textured wines. The small production is handled separately, from crushing and fermentation through to oak maturation, with the decision on every barrel’s ultimate destination left until six months after vintage, when each one is assessed (and may be declassified if it fails to meet this wine’s high standards). With minimum intervention in the winery and discreet use of oak, the aim is to give character of place the best possible chance to assert itself." - Two Hands
