Two hands 'Angels Share' Shiraz 2007

Two hands 'Angels Share' Shiraz 2007

ANGEL’S SHARE
A GORGEOUS SILKY RICH SHIRAZ

Another good series from Two Hands, Angel's Share, from the region of McLaren Vale, South Australia.

Winemaking :-
The grapes were crushed into and fermented in open top potters, with regular pump overs three times daily to extract colour and tannin. The grapes were then pressed and the wine was transferred to tank and then racked to barrel of oak maturation.

Having 10 months in 14% new American oak hogsheads, the balance in 1, 2 and 3 year old American oak.

Colour :-
Deep purple with a black core.

Aroma :-
The bouquet shows concentrated aromas of plums, scorched earth, licorice, mint, and chocolate whilst exhibiting trademark McLaren Vale characters of coffee and mocha.

Palate :-
The mouth feel and texture is immediate with concentrated flavours of cola, plum and blackcurrant along a vibrant and linear backbone. The mid palate shows terrific focus, the finish balanced by impeccable tannin and acid structure.

Cellar Potential :-
Best 5-7 years.

Thanks
Singapore
