World Wine – "Medium-deep crimson. A very attractive and complex grenache with intense dark cherry, dark chocolate, mocha toffee, espresso aromas. Well concentrated on the palate with dark cherry, dark chocolate, praline flavours, fine slinky textures, lovely mid-palate viscosity and well integrated acidity. All the elements are in perfect balance.” Andrew Caillard MW

Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – "This 2019 Ares Shiraz is firm and savory and shaped by a pliable rachis of tannin and spice. The fruit strays across blood plums, mulberries, damsons and licorice and leaves a trail of star anise and aniseed its wake. The tannins are very prominent and have a traditional feel, Decant it." Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate

About This Wine

Ares represents the very best shiraz parcels selected for each vintage.

Ares was the Greek God of War known for being a dangerous, untamed and violent force in battle – his sons Phobos (Fear) and Deimos (Terror) and his sister Enyo (Dischord) rode with him on his chariot into battle. Ares at Two Hands is the pinnacle of our Flagship collection and celebrates the most perfect expression of Shiraz we craft each vintage.

"This is deep, slow-moving with a great persistence, this is unashamedly Barossa Shiraz. Very few places the world over can make a wine with such depth, persistence, inner energy and lightweight, the tannins are uber silky and seem to have an ability to continue to caress the mouth." - Michael Twelfree

Barossa Valley Wine

The Barossa Valley wine region has historically and currently still is one of Australia's most prestigious premium wine producing regions. Located just 60km north east of Adelaide city centre, the climate there is very hot and dry which is perfect for the big bold reds the area is famous for.

A straight Shiraz is what Barossa is most well known for, however Rhone blends, such as Shiraz Cabernet are also very popular. While much less prevalent, white wines (Chardonnay, Riesling, Semillon) are planted on the higher altitude hillsides where the ocean breeze cools temperatures down to a level suitable for producing these varieties as well.

Some of Australia's earliest Shiraz plantings can be found here dating as far back as the 1850's. While not always a guarantee of quality, it might be worth seeking out and trying one of the region's "old vine shiraz" if you haven't yet.
