Inspired by the myths of ancient Greece the Flagship Series is headed by Ares, the bold, passionate and strong God of War, a perfect fit for the pinnacle of the Two Hands Collection. 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 is tasted in the search for the very finest cuvée to represent Ares, the pinnacle of our Shiraz production.

Inspired by the myths of ancient Greece the Flagship Series is headed by our Ares Shiraz. Aphrodite was the true love of Ares, and their love story is one of the greatest of all time. 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.
