Understanding Two Hands, Bella's Garden Shiraz, Barossa Valley, South Australia
Bella's Garden is sourced from various vineyards throughout the Barossa Valley, each contributing distinct characteristics to this complex Shiraz. The selection of vineyards focuses on those with rich, loamy soils and old vines that yield intensely-flavoured grapes. This diverse sourcing is key to the wine's multifaceted profile. Grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted to ensure only the best are vinified. Fermentation occurs in open-top fermenters with some whole bunches for greater fruit concentration. Extended maceration on skins enhances intensity and tannins for structure. This wine matures for 17 months in French oak, a portion of which is new, a step that lends flavour complexity without overpowering fruit vibrancy. Bella's Garden displays dark berry, plum and spicy chocolate hints in a lush, smooth palate with fine-grained tannins and balanced acidity. Bella's Garden is approachable in its youth but also has significant ageing promise.
