Tasting Notes
Aroma
Interesting aromas of dried herbs, fresh mint, clove, coffee, chocolate and sauteed plums.
Appearance
Flows from the bottle with colours of magenta to black.
Palate
The wine opens with an explosion of rich, powerful fruit that
tantalises the palate. This initial burst releases a wave of juicy
flavors and elongated fruit notes, gradually balanced by broad
tannins. It’s remarkably easy to drink, making a bold statement
before delivering a full-bodied experience. The creamy fruitiness
enhances the succulent mouthfeel, while the tannins bring a
delightful brightness to the smooth finish. This wine promises
plenty of immediate enjoyment and has the potential to age
gracefully under optimal conditions.
Vinification
The fruit was crushed into and fermented in 5, 7 and 10 tonne
open fermenters. During the peak of fermentation the batches
received regular pump overs 2-3 times daily. The average time
on skins was 15 days. Maturation occurred in 12% new French oak
hogsheads for 14 months, the balance in 1 to 8 year old. After
maturation the final blend was lightly fined and unfiltered prior to
bottling.
Vintage Notes
The 2023 season was challenging, we experienced a very
wet winter with a number of very humid days to match. Heat
summation over summer and sun daylight hours were going to
be much lower than we were normally used to, presenting us
with a much slower ripening curve. With wine we put the vintage
year on the label for a reason, to show what we can achieve in an
independent 12-month period, from pruning to wine in barrels. I
am thrilled with what our Two Hands team has achieved in such a
perplexing, challenging and interesting season.
