Harriet's Garden

Adelaide Hills Shiraz

By visiting this page, we hope that you are either enjoying our Harriet’s Garden 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. 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 show a development of ripeness and tannin.

The wine is named after our owner Michael’s daughter, Harriet whose favourite colour is pink.

DAVE BROOKES 2023 WINE COMPANION

“Two Hands were highlighting regionality early on in the piece with their Garden Series; their success in overseas markets, most noticeably the U.S., exposed many overseas wine drinkers to the nuance of Australian wine regions. Here it’s shiraz from Hope Forest in the Adelaide Hills; bright and detailed, plush with plum and red fruits, laden with cool-climate spice and fine and long on the finish.”
