Two Hands Bella's Garden Shiraz 2013
Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaThe Two Hands Garden Series is a six shiraz set bottled to expose the terroir of individual approved South Australia wine regions. The fruit is bought under long term contract. The ‘garden’ is in fact a reference to German propensity for calling their vineyards gardens. Bella’s is the largest production and since the inception the use of new oak has fallen setting this wine free. The 2013 is a picture of density and sweet fruit over pepper and brown spices with along warm persistent finish. Not for the timid and it could use a few years in bottle but many will enjoy the rambunctious new World fruit now. Served with a well-seasoned leg of lamb.Tasted: 13 May 2016Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $78.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
