Two Hands Wines was born from a bottle of Australian shiraz and a dream. Today, the team pride themselves on their passion for creating the best wine with careful and meticulous viticulture techniques. Time, patience, extensive soil studies and viticulture research have allowed Two Hands Wines to become what it aspires to be; one the greatest vineyards in Barossa. Vine material is sourced from the best vines in the best vineyards, including other growers in the region, rather than sourcing clones from nurseries, producing the highest quality wine the Barossa Valley has to offer.

Taking a more natural, minimalist approach to creating its wines, Two Hands Wines’ estate vineyards are pruned, trained and picked by hand to minimise tractor movements and soil compaction, allowing the grapes to truly develop. From shiraz, and cabernet sauvignon to riesling, chardonnay and even grenache, Two Hands Wines has a delicious drop to suit all tastes.

Each barrel is blind-tasted by Michael Twelftree and his team, ensuring consistency and quality. The company’s main philosophy is that drinking wine should bring pleasure and enjoyment. “The best wines are the ones that are tasted subconsciously; they are enjoyed with great food, good friends and music on a long, lazy afternoon.”

In 2004, Two Hands Wines opened its cellar door, the restored Bakehouse Tasting Room, with an aim to provide a personal and bespoke guest experience. The historic décor and breathtaking surrounds give visitors a unique environment to truly enjoy and learn about the intricacies of wine at their own pace. Guests visiting the cellar door are offered a guided tasting featuring eight wines from the various wine series the company produces. Guests can even get up close and personal by exploring the vineyards in a safari-style experience, inspired by Michael Twelftree’s trip to Africa in 2016.
