The 'Two Hands' are that of Michael Twelftree and Richard Mintz. who formed the company in 1999 with the principal intention of making top class South Australian Shiraz. Since then the business has expanded to cover a whole host of interesting full flavoured wines.
Two Hands History
After deciding to setup the company in 1999, it was the 2000 vintage that first kicked things off for Two Hands, with Mclaren Vale and Padthaway Shiraz the first fruit into the winery. Since then the company has grown significantly, with a particularly strong presence in the USA no doubt helped by Robert Parker proclaiming, in 2004, that Two Hands was "the finest negociant operation south of the equator"Two Hands Philosophy
'From the beginning, we have set out to build a wine company that is different in its approach, one that is innovative and not afraid to think outside the square. We want to put some fun back into wine.' Michael Twelftree and Richard MintzTwo Hands Winemaking
There are several core values that the Two Hands winemaking team revolve their winemaking around, including (to quote directly)- Quality, without compromise, in all the decisions from fruit and oak selection to packaging and promotion.
- Differentiaton - desire to be unique, fun and innovative in our business approach while maintaining a high degree of professionalism and integrity.
- To make our wines by a process of barrel classification - selecting the very best barrels for the Flagship Range followed by the Garden Series then our Picture Series.

- To allow fruit to be the primary feature of all our wines with oak playing a supporting role.
