Craig Stansborough and Mark Slade started Purple Hands in southern Barossa 2006 from humble beginnings, making just 100 dozen the first vintage. Today "Purple Hands captures the purity and elegance that is possible when the raw materials are in good hands" Dave Brookes, The Halliday Wine Companion.

A great vintage Coonawarra Shiraz with a raft of critical praise, 93-95pt scores, and appealing wax capsule, this is a real treat. "Mighty good year in Coonawarra. So, that’s why we have a mighty good Coonawarra Shiraz here. Love the merging of dark cherry and blackberry with a red berry infusion. The palate is so plush and vibrant with lush berries supported perfectly with fine tannin and even finer grained oak. A classy example of what Coonawarra can do with Shiraz in a good year. Bravo!" Ray Jordan Winepilot.

The savoury and smooth Tempranillo is complimented by thespicy fruit and structure of Graciano. The resultant wine has greater intensity, depth and length.

This is Big Sky's flagship wine, from their low vigour, low cropping vineyard. It's made to show off the delicious Te Muna fruit characters - ripe berryfruit, dark cherries and plums – set against mouthfilling savoriness, warm spice, and silky tannins. Lithe and elegant.
