Description
Bella’s Garden is a blend of our finest Shiraz barrels from across the region. The Barossa Valley is one of Australia’s oldest wine regions, with existing plantings of Shiraz, Grenache and Mourvèdre vines that are over 125 years old. Two Hands has produced this wine since the first vintage in 2000 and it has become a favourite among many of our followers and Shiraz lovers everywhere.
The fruit for this wine is predominately sourced from vineyards in the Barossa’s western ranges, encompassing the Greenock/Seppeltsfield/Marananga area of the region. The soil profile, made up of red-brown earth over schist, on this side of the valley creates masculine tannins and richness through the palate. Lower yielding, small bunches provide a large fruit concentration. For more information on the unique soil profiles of the various sub-regions within the Barossa visit The Barossa Grounds website.
Bella’s Garden label colour reflects the red soils of the Barossa’s western ranges where all the Two Hands estate vineyards & cellar door are located.
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
95 points Wine Spectator
Dark, deep and impressively focused, a massive wall of delicious fruit — cherry, pomegranate, raspberry and red plum are among the first to appear — tempered with refined tannins that let the flavors sail on and on through the extended finish. *No. 10 Top 100 Wines of 2006* (02/2006)
94 points Wine Advocate
From the Barossa, the inky/ruby/purple-hued 2004 Shiraz Bella’s Garden offers notions of mint, blackberries, smoke, dusty earth, and a distinctive licorice and creme de cassis character. (RP, 10/2006)
95 points James Halliday
Very strong, deep, purple-red; a full-bodied, luscious array of blackberry, plum and licorice; supple, ripe tannins. (12/2005)
