Sipping Fine Wine

I met Michael Twelftree and he was telling me about his project of making very small scale wines from old vines and creating Twelftree Wines. Michael also runs Two Hands and makes some outstanding wines. Deep red with complex floral, fruit and spice aromas. On the palate ripe plum flavors with baking spices, pepper and nutty notes. Soft tannins, a little drying, overall good balance, nice length on mineral finish. perfect now!

We liked this a lot. Grenache dominant but that bass is nothing but Mataro. Long and deep flavours. Beautiful complexity and deft oak. Serious wine

Great densely spicy intriguing nose. Fine tannins, quite pretty for Barossa.

If you are ever fortunate enough to be in a position to buy a bottle of Twelftree just hand your wallet over, don't ask any questions.

Fabulous wine. Well balanced with a spicy undertone. Not your typical blend.
