Two Hands is based in Marananga in the Barossa Valley and was co-founded by Michael Twelftree. Lily's Garden is named after his daughter Lily, born in 2001, and belongs to the Garden Series, started in 2000 to show the regional diversity of Australian Shiraz. Every Garden wine is made the same way, so only the region changes.

The fruit comes from the McLaren Vale sub-regions of Blewitt Springs, Clarendon, McLaren Vale and Seaview. It's fermented in open-top vats and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Jeb Dunnuck reports 18 months in 9% new French oak for the cool 2017 vintage. It's 14.4% alcohol.

The winery describes cascading blue fruits, with blueberry, blackberry and chocolate and a rich, long palate. Jeb Dunnuck calls it more reserved but no less brilliant.

Against Penfolds Grange 2009, Lily's Garden is a single-region McLaren Vale Shiraz at a fraction of the price; for a regional Shiraz with some age, choose Lily's Garden.

Jeb Dunnuck gives a drinking window of 2019 to 2029, so open it soon. Serve with grilled lamb.

Awards

96 Jeb Dunnuck
"More reserved but no less brilliant, the 2017 Shiraz Lily's Garden comes from the McLaren Vale and spent 18 months in just 9% new French oak. Classic Syrah notes of dark black fruits, damp herbs, scorched earth, and obvious minerality give way to a medium to full-bodied beauty that is flawlessly balanced, textured, and seamless. It’s up with the finest vintages I’ve tasted of this cuvée and will keep for upwards of a decade."

92 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"The 2017 Lily's Garden Shiraz is marked by ripe cherry fruit and herbal undertones. Hints of thyme and mint appear on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is creamy and ripe, turning silky on the finish. This is one of the few Garden series wines where the oak is evident, but it's still well blended with the rest of the wine, showing up as just a bit of additional structure."

91 Wine Spectator
"Intense wild berry and plum notes are accented by sage, bay leaf and brown sugar nuances, set on a thick and velvety frame. A detail of blood orange emerges on the finish. Drink now through 2029."
