TWO HANDS ANGELS’ SHARE SHIRAZ 2023

Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"Angels' Share, a gorgeous silky rich shiraz. Appealing to angels and mortals alike since the 2000 vintage. The term "Angel's Share" refers to the small amount of wine that evaporates from oak barrels during maturation. It is a poetic way of referring to the evaporation, with the idea that angels are taking their share of the wine.

Generous plum/mulberry fruit with chocolate/mocha characters and notes of earth and spice. The wine opens with an explosion of rich, powerful fruit that tantalises the palate. This initial burst releases a wave of juicy flavours 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. Aged 12 months in a mix of French oak hogsheads and puncheons with 10-15% new oak."

91/100 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (2023 Vintage)
"The 2023 Angel's Share Shiraz is silky and spicy, with an unbroken flow of black and purple fruit, licorice and exotic spices. The wine has a lighter frame than previous years, yet it remains full of flavour and attractive tannic texture."

92/100 Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, November 2020 (2019 Vintage)
"Blackberry, plum, earth, sausages and spice. Medium to full-bodied, a bit chewy, some chocolate, dried herbs and black olive, balanced, meaty and gently sweet, with a finish of satisfying length. Delivers the goods. Easy to like."
