99/100 — Robert Parker The Wine Advocate · 2016 Vintage · Tasted: Sep 2021 · Drinking Window: 2022 to 2045
About This Wine
The name “My Hands” is derived from Marananga, where the Two Hands Winery and Cellar Door is located, meaning ‘my hands’ in the local Aboriginal language.
The wine was handpicked by Michael Twelftree during barrel classification as being truly extraordinary and worthy of its own unique label, establishing it as the most premium wine and a vintage-limited release from Two Hands.
Producer Notes
Parcels from the Holy Grail vineyard were crushed and de-stemmed into open top fermenters with regular pump overs up to three times daily during peak fermentation to extract colour and tannin, with an average time on skins of 9 days. All free run and pressings were combined in tank and then racked to oak after 24 hours to go through malolactic fermentation. The wine was bottled with minimal fining and no filtration.
