By visiting this page, we hope that you are either enjoying our Harriet’s Garden Adelaide Hills Shiraz or would like to find out more about it.
At Two Hands we source premium fruit from six of the finest Shiraz growing regions around Australia, from which we produce the Garden Series.
Harriet’s Garden is sourced from one of the coolest wine regions of South Australia, the Adelaide Hills.
The Adelaide Hills is one of the largest geographical wine regions in Australia, and amongst the most diverse in terms of climate, soil and topography. The region consists of two registered sub-regions, Lenswood and Piccadilly Valley. Bordered by the Barossa Valley to the North and McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek to the South, the Adelaide Hills is the cool climate jewel between its warmer lower lying cousins. Importantly the Adelaide Hills is also the closest Wine Region to the CBD of Adelaide making it a favourite quick getaway, weekend long lunch or cellar door tour destination for locals and visitors alike.
Adelaide Hills Shiraz defies the big, bold nature of warm climate Shiraz, and showcases a stylish, refreshing, elegant style. The aromatics lend themselves to attractive peppers and spice, whilst the palate’s fine tannins and acid structures deliver palate length and age-ability in the cellar.
Made since 2015, the fruit sourced to produce Harriet’s Garden is purchased from a vineyard next to Hope Forest. This is a site we harvest late and is usually one of the late parcels to arrive at our winery. The moderating effect of the southern ocean rolling into South Australia in conjunction with the site’s high elevation provides finer red fruit characteristics, allowing slower development of ripeness and tannin.
The wine is named after our owner Michael’s daughter, Harriet whose favourite colour is pink.
