Expert Review:
Angus Hughson- 94 points, Apparently named after the Lenny Kravitz Fields of Joy Album (it's a good one for fans of early Kravitz), this was my pick from the whole Two Hands Picture Series Range thanks to its combination of raw power and brooding, savoury personality. It's a proper Clare Shiraz showing all those delicious liquorice and plum compote fruits with a dusting of red earth, salt bush and peppery spice. The palate is a different game altogether with greater fruit sweetness and a rich core of mouthfilling dark fruits on a seam of chewy tannins that drive a long and muscular finish. It is a big, chunky style that will provide delicious drinking over the next ten years. It is also fantastic value.

Two Hands Wines was founded in early 1999 by Michael Twelftree and Richard Mintz. Their intention was, and still is, to showcase the diversity of Australian Shiraz by highlighting regional characteristics and allowing the fruit to be the primary feature of the wines. Two Hands refers to the very personable approach taken with each parcel of grapes, no matter how big or small. The wines are carefully guided through the viticulture and winemaking process by Michael Twelftree. From the outset, Two Hands set out to be unique. This approach is reflected in everything from the names of the wines through to innovative packaging and, not least, the wines themselves. 'Quality without compromise' is a core value that drives all Two Hands decisions so, not surprisingly, the wines have received international acclaim from respected wine critics, with Robert Parker proclaiming Two Hands as '...the finest negociant operation south of the equator...' In November 2012, Two Hands was named in the Wine Spectator's annual Top 100 for the 10th consecutive year, an achievement that has never been equaled by any other winery the world over.
