The 2021 Two Hands Bella's Garden Shiraz is a bold and expressive Barossa Valley red, blended from the estate's top Shiraz barrels sourced across key sub-regions. Grown in rich red/brown clay soils, the wine exudes classic Barossa character—aromas of red earth, blackberry, licorice, and spice, underpinned by iron and iodine notes. On the palate, it's dense and persistent with chewy tannins and a long, powerful finish. Decanting is recommended to unlock its full depth and complexity.

The 2021 Bella's Garden Shiraz is from the Barossa Valley and, like last vintage, shows all the earth and might of the Barossa dirt. It has red earth, licorice, iodine, blood, layers of mulberry and blackberry and metal shavings. Interestingly, it is sedate on the palate but very long. This suggests it might need a decant or, at the very least, might benefit from one. It is a lovely wine that is big, buxom, dense and persistent. I really love the finish—it is chewy and full, very satisfying. 14.4% alcohol, sealed under Diam.

Deep dark red. Black core with red meniscus. Bursts out of the glass almost in a brooding, elegant manner. Juicy red and black fruits with notes of five spice, earth, black pepper and sandalwood. Fresh juicy fruits erupt and roll across the palate as only a great Barossa Shiraz can. Lovely tactile nature with grippy fine grained tannins.
