Tasting note

這支來自克萊谷的作品香氣飽滿，藍莓與櫻桃的果香帶出一抹櫻桃酒（kirsch）的鮮明感，薄荷與黑胡椒提升清爽邊緣，八角般的香料與烘焙可可、雪松木頭味從橡木桶融入。口感厚實而集中，單寧結構明確、帶有些許乾爽與鹹香，使整體更耐嚼。酒莊由 Michael Twelftree 創立，首席釀酒人 Ben Perkins 與葡萄園管理人 Travis Coombe 重視田間管理與分級採收：果實以小量分批採收、謹慎發酵並在橡木中細緻熟成，保留果味同時建立陳年架構。建議醒酒一小時或稍候再飲，搭配燒烤或燉煮紅肉風味最佳。

A powerful Clare Valley expression showing dense blue and black-fruit aromas—kirsch and blueberry—lifted by peppermint and spice. Secondary notes of star anise, cedar and mocha from careful oak ageing frame the fruit without overwhelming it. On the palate it is concentrated and full-bodied, with firm, grainy tannins and a savory, slightly astringent oak presence that gives structure and length. Made by Ben Perkins for Two Hands, fruit comes from carefully managed Clare sites under the watch of vineyard manager Travis Coombe; hand-harvested fruit sees small-batch fermentation and extended maturation in quality oak to build depth. Best decanted for an hour if drinking now; will reward short-term cellaring.

Winery

雙手酒莊（Two Hands）由 Michael Twelftree 創立，以突出產區與單一田地風貌為宗旨。釀酒團隊在 Ben Perkins 帶領下，與田間團隊（如葡萄園經理 Travis Coombe）緊密合作，從克萊谷優質園區採收低產量、成熟均勻的果實。釀造上偏好小批次管理、溫和萃取與適度橡木熟成，重點是襯托果實而非掩蓋風味。

Two Hands Wines was founded by Michael Twelftree with a focus on single-vineyard purity and regional expression. Under winemaker Ben Perkins, the team works closely with growers (vineyard manager Travis Coombe among them) to source ripe, low-yield fruit from premium Clare Valley sites. Their approach emphasizes small-batch lots, careful extraction and oak regimes designed to support—and not mask—fruit intensity.
