ABOUT THE WINE

Angel Share
Angels Share refers to the small amount of wine that evaporates from oak barrels during maturation. Mediaeval winemakers assumed that angels watched over the wines, and that they took their share. Selected from parcels of exceptional McLaren Vale fruit, this wine is made in a true Australian style and will appeal to both angels and mortals alike.

Winemaker's Notes
Dark plum with bright purple hue. Dark liquorice with a meld of plum & blackberry and a slight meaty note. The mouth feel is dense and coating, although big and rich it is not over the top, the oak is noticeable but does not dominate. Luscious mocha and dark fruit intensity roll over the palate, leaving you with a wine that is ready to drink.

Two Hands
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''. The heart of the operation is Barossa Valley based; the Cellar Door and Winery are located in the sub district of Marananga. Opened in December 2003 the Cellar Door has already come to be regarded as one of the highlights of the region with its contemporary interior design and commitment to providing guests with an educational and personal wine experience. The Marananga winery was officially opened in November 2004, designed specifically for small batch production of the very best parcels of fruit.
