The 2010 Two Hands Ares Shiraz is a monumental Barossa Valley Shiraz from one of the greatest vintages of the modern era, combining immense power with structure, precision, and long-term ageing potential. Produced by Two Hands Wines, Ares represents the pinnacle of the estate’s Shiraz program, crafted from the finest parcels of old-vine fruit selected for intensity and depth.
The 2010 vintage in Barossa Valley is widely regarded as exceptional, delivering Shiraz of outstanding balance, concentration, and tannin quality. Cooler conditions compared to warmer years allowed for slower ripening, resulting in wines with greater structure, freshness, and longevity—ideal for a flagship wine such as Ares.
In the winery, fruit was hand-harvested and fermented in small batches, with extended maceration to build depth, colour, and tannin structure. The wine was matured in high-quality French oak barrels, including a significant proportion of new oak, over an extended period to enhance complexity, texture, and integration.
With over a decade of bottle age, the wine now displays a deeply complex and evolving profile. Aromas of blackberry, dark plum, and cassis are layered with notes of dark chocolate, espresso, liquorice, spice, leather, and subtle savoury nuance. The palate is full-bodied and richly textured, with dense fruit concentration, velvety yet structured tannins, and a long, powerful finish that remains balanced and composed.
Drinking beautifully now with extended decanting, the 2010 Ares Shiraz still possesses the structure to continue evolving over the next decade or more under ideal cellaring conditions.
A flagship Barossa Shiraz of exceptional pedigree, offering both hedonistic richness and serious cellaring credentials.
