Mourvèdre folds in savoury layers of dried spice, leather and earthy depth, giving the wine shape and persistence. The subtle inclusion of Shiraz adds a gentle spine of black pepper and dark fruit, tightening the mid-palate and lending a flicker of spice on the finish. The overall impression is one of brightness and balance. Supple red fruits glide over fine tannins, finishing long, fresh and moreish. Drink young for its vibrancy, or cellar 5–7 years to see the spice and savoury notes develop further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVINIFICATION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003eThe three separate fruit batches were de-stemmed and crushed to open top fermenters. The Shiraz was pumped over three times daily, where as the Grenache and Mourvèdre, after a few days cold soak, were lightly plunged. Average time ‘on skins’ was 6 days. Grenache parcels were fermented with 20% whole bunches. All pressings were added back to the free run. Some barrels had extended lees contact through maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMATURATION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e12 months in a mix of French oak hogsheads and puncheons with 10-15% new oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVINTAGE NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003eGrenache thrived in the warm, dry Barossa 2024 vintage. The early budburst and small crops set the stage for berries with terrific concentration. The warm, dry summer kept disease pressure at bay, and the small, thick skinned berries developed deep colour and lifted aromatics.By harvest, Grenache stood out across the region as one of the real success stories of the year, wines showing vivid perfume, fine natural tannins, and a balance of juiciness and spice that promises immediate charm as well as cellaring potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THIS PRODUCT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ecountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eregion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barossa Valley\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003evintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003evariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grenache \u0026amp; Grenache Blends\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ealcohol volume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.6\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003ec\u003cstrong\u003el\u003c\/strong\u003eosure: Screwcap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003evolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eweight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.333kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ewine style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red (Full Bodied)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Two Hands Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51768720851177,"sku":"TWOSHB24-BF-1","price":31.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2435\/3999\/files\/TwoHandsBraveFacesGrenacheMourvedreShiraz2024.jpg?v=1788210913","url":"https:\/\/thewineprovidore.com.au\/products\/two-hands-brave-faces-grenache-mourvedre-shiraz-2024-14-6-750ml","provider":"The Wine Providore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
