Understanding Two Hands, Ares, Barossa Valley, South Australia
Ares is sourced from exceptional Shiraz vines across the Barossa Valley, including some ancient, low-yielding plots that contribute to the wine's complexity and depth. These top-class vines, deeply rooted in the diverse soils of the valley, produce grapes with an extraordinary concentration of flavours, a hallmark of the region's best Shiraz. Grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, carefully hand-sorted and then fermented using traditional methods that allow for gentle extraction of flavours and tannins. Uncommonly for Barossa, wine ages in 100% French oak, a process that imbues Ares with complexity, complementing the powerful fruit profile. Ares exhibits dark fruit, chocolate and peppery, spicy hints in an opulent and full-bodied palate supported by robust tannins and a long, lingering finish. While immediately captivating, Ares boasts outstanding cellaring potential, evolving gracefully to reveal nuanced dimensions over time.
