Bella's Garden

Barossa Valley Shiraz

By visiting this page, we hope that you are either enjoying our Bella’s Garden shiraz or would like to find out more about it.

Two Hands source premium fruit from six of the finest Shiraz growing regions in Australia, from which we produce the Garden Series.

Bella’s Garden is a blend of our finest Shiraz barrels from across the Barossa Valley region. The Barossa Valley is one of Australia’s oldest and wine regions, with existing Shiraz, Grenache and Mourvèdre vines over 125 years old.

Bella’s is predominately grown in the Red/Brown earth of the Barossa’s western ranges, the soil profile on this side of the valley creates masculine tannins and richness through the palate. Lower yielding, small grapes provide a large fruit concentration.

Bella’s Garden label colour reflects the red soils of the Barossa’s western ranges where all the Two Hands estate vineyards & cellar door are located.

DAVE BROOKES 2023 WINE COMPANION

“Two Hands’ Garden Series sees them embark on a regional road-trip around 5 famous Australian wine regions before they settle back to their home turf of the Barossa Valley with the Bella’s Garden. Like their McLaren Vale release it’s a ‘best of’ the famous subregions, with many familiar names. Fragrant, plush and supple with a distinct contemporary feel, it’s an excellent example of a modern Barossa style that will please many drinkers.” – 94 points. Read on HERE
