The Two Hands Estate is located in the beautiful wine region of the Barossa Valley in Australia. Considered one of the most important estates in Australia, it is recognized for the production of very high-quality wines. Since its establishment in 1999 by Michael Twelftree and Richard Mintz, the Two Hands Estate has quickly gained an international reputation for its powerful, well-structured, and very fruity wines. The Two Hands Estate is perched on rolling hills, offering a panoramic view of the surrounding vineyards. Located in one of the driest regions of Australia, the estate benefits from a warm and sunny climate, which is ideal for grape cultivation. These climatic conditions, combined with a mineral-rich soil, allow the production of wines with great aromatic intensity and beautiful taste complexity. On nearly sixteen hectares, the Two Hands Estate mainly produces red wines, particularly from the shiraz varietal, an iconic grape of the Barossa Valley region. However, we should not forget the other varietals grown there, such as cabernet sauvignon and grenache, contributing to the diversification of production and the complexity of the wines produced. With its artisanal approach and its philosophy of "quality without compromise", the Two Hands Estate quickly attracted the attention of critics and wine lovers. In 2003, it was named in the Top 100 best wineries in the world by Wine Spectator. A nice recognition that underlines the rigor and effort of the estate's team. Each bottle produced at the Two Hands Estate is a true expression of the place and terroir where it was made.

Discover the grape variety: Cabernet franc

Cabernet Franc is one of the oldest red grape varieties in Bordeaux. The Libourne region is its terroir where it develops best. The terroirs of Saint-Emilion and Fronsac allow it to mature and develop its best range of aromas. It is also the majority in many blends. The very famous Château Cheval Blanc, for example, uses 60% Cabernet Franc. The wines produced with Cabernet Franc are medium in colour with fine tannins and subtle aromas of small red fruits and spices. When blended with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, it brings complexity and a bouquet of aromas to the wine. It produces fruity wines that can be drunk quite quickly, but whose great vintages can be kept for a long time. It is an earlier grape variety than Cabernet Sauvignon, which means that it is planted as far north as the Loire Valley. In Anjou, it is also used to make sweet rosé wines. Cabernet Franc is now used in some twenty countries in Europe and throughout the world.
