Tasting note

品飲筆記：酒色深濃，散發出成熟黑李、黑莓的濃郁果香，伴隨黑胡椒、苦巧克力與雪松香氣。口感厚實飽滿，黑果甜美與橡木香交織，帶來些許摩卡與香草的溫潤尾韻，單寧圓潤但有支撐力，餘味持久。 酒莊與產區：雙手酒莊（Two Hands Wines）由業主 Michael Twelftree 支持，Ben Perkins 負責釀造，Travis Coombe 管理葡萄園。蘇菲花園來源於南澳 Padthaway 的精選園塊，酒莊強調產地真實性與紮實結構。 釀造小記：採摘後嚴格篩選，掌握萃取以取得成熟卻不粗糙的單寧。以新桶與舊桶混合熟成，讓香草、橡木與摩卡風味細緻滲入，同時保留黑色果實的鮮明度與層次。 葡萄園與栽培：Padthaway 屬於廣闊平原，排水佳的土壤加上晚間涼爽，有助於保持酸度並累積成熟風味。葡萄園採取控產與分級採收，確保果實在最佳風味期進入酒窖，造就口感豐滿、耐陳的酒款。 建議飲用：建議醒酒約一小時以打開香氣，最適合搭配烤紅肉、野味或風乾熟成的硬質起司。

Tasting note: Deep ruby with a dense core of black plum and blackberry, lifted by black pepper, dark chocolate and cedar spice. The palate is concentrated and plush — layers of ripe dark fruit, mocha and vanilla from careful oak ageing, supported by rounded but present tannins and a long, cocoa-tinged finish. Producer notes: Crafted by Two Hands Wines under winemaker Ben Perkins, Sophie's Garden is sourced from Padthaway parcels managed by vineyard manager Travis Coombe. The bottle reflects the house focus on site expression and ripe, textural reds. Winemaking notes: Grapes are hand-sorted and vinified with attention to extraction to achieve ripe tannin structure without harshness. Matured in a mix of new and seasoned oak for balanced spice and vanilla notes; time in barrel lends mocha and cedary complexity while preserving vibrant dark-fruit character. Vineyard notes: The fruit comes from Padthaway’s warm, open plains where well-draining soils and cool nights help retain acidity beneath generous ripeness. Yields are controlled and parcels are picked for optimal phenolic maturity to produce a richly textured, age-worthy wine. Serving suggestion: Decant for about an hour to open aromatics; pairs beautifully with roasted or grilled red meats and mature cheeses.
