Two Hands Angels’ Share Shiraz 2018
Voluptuous blackberry and plum flavours burst from the glass accompanied by hints of coffee and chocolate. Rich, satisfying and silky smooth, this has all the hallmarks of McLaren Vale Shiraz. Enjoy now or try cellaring over 4-6 years for more softness and flavour development. Delicious with any red meat dishes or rich tomato based pasta.
Vibrant notes of blueberries over-layed with dried violet petals and gentle woody spices.
Shiraz
14 month in 12% new American oak hogsheads, the balance in 1 to 8 year old American and French oak.
A soft entry that quickly fans out and saturates the palate: the perfect blend of power and elegance. Medium to full bodied in nature, this wine has ample fruit purity combined with lively savoury nuances. Notes of primary blue fruits combined with liquorice straps and a brilliantly fragrant floral overtone. Tannins are savoury and detailed. They run long across the palate and opens the wine to a long complex finish.
The grapes were crushed into and fermented in five, seven and ten tonne open fermenters. During the peak of fermentation the batches received regular pump overs 2-3 times daily to extract colour, flavour and tannin. The average time on skins was 15 days. The free run was drained off and the skins were pressed, with the pressings then combined with the free run. After 24 hours the wine was racked to barrel where malolactic fermnetation proceeded. The final blend was lightly fined and unfiltered prior to bottling.
