Flagship Series


Our Flagship Series represent the very finest varietal selections from each vintage.

With a strong commitment to the philosophy of ‘quality without compromise’, Two Hands Wines use a strict classification process to ensure that only the best barrels each vintage are deemed worthy of being bottled as a Flagship Series wine.

Six months after vintage, a selection of barrels from our best parcels of fruit are carefully assessed by Chief Winemaker Richard Langford, looking for the finest cuvee and given a classification grade associated with its place in the Two Hands portfolio. With this focus on detail, it means only the best barrels make it through and quality is maintained even in the toughest vintages, albeit at lower quantities.

Each year, only a handful of barrels come in at the top of the class, scoring an A+; these barrels become wines in our Flagship Series. These ultra-premium wines represent the very finest varietal selections from each vintage.

Each vintage is unique and possesses its own characteristics. Our Flagship Series epitomises this unique signature imparted each year by the various elements that create a great wine.
Richard Langford, Chief Winemaker

Named after the Greek gods of ancient myth with mighty Ares at the head, these Flagship Series wines exhibit exceptional aging ability and structure and will mature for many years in your cellar.

Spotlight On

Ares Shiraz

Shiraz is at the heart of the Two Hands story and our vineyard selections give us access to some of the greatest parcels of Shiraz grapes in the country. Each year, every one of the 1,500 barrels of Shiraz is tasted in the search for the very finest cuvée to represent Ares, the pinnacle of our Shiraz production.

The handful of barrels that make it through are matured for 24 months in new and one-year-old French oak, and retasted again and again to ensure only the best make the final blend. A statuesque, powerful and deeply flavoured wine that combines elegance and vivacity.

Inspired by the myths of ancient Greece the Flagship Series is headed by Ares our Flagship Shiraz, the bold, passionate and strong God of War. ‘Anteros’ was the son of Ares and Aphrodite and was the god of requited love and also the punisher of those who scorn love and the advances of others. This is the second release of our Anteros, the previous vintage was 2008 where the wine has aged superbly.
