A blend of the finest shiraz barrels from across the Barossa Valley region. This is a sumptuous wine, defined by its aromatic complexity and finesse. Predominately grown in the Red/Brown earth of the Barossa’s western ranges, the soil profile creates masculine tannins and richness through the palate. Lower yield limiting soils provide a large fruit concentration. This label’s color reflects the red soils of the Barossa’s western ranges where all the best Two Hands vineyards are located.

- Tasting note
- Bella’s Garden is classically rich and powerful. It oozes with a thick coating of fruit across your palate. Dried herbs, fresh cracked pepper, plum, blackcurrant, berry fruit preserves, incense and violets. It has a creamy texture that holds it’s density and shape very well. There is a lot of precision with this wine. The fruit is bold and persistent, offering layer after layer of dense textures. The magic act here is the fruits interplay with the tannins. The tannins are silky, velvety and powerful find a lovely puckering in the late palate, you are left awash with such a lovely feeling and taste sensation.
