品飲筆記：這瓶來自希斯科特的經典表現，以濃郁的黑櫻桃、黑莓與熟李香為底，夾帶黑胡椒、深色巧克力和甘草的香氣。口感厚實但不笨重，前段果味飽滿，中段展現帶礦質感的鮮明鹹香，單寧結實而細緻，尾韻則以烘烤香料與微微雪松感延伸。
酒莊與生產：雙手酒莊（Two Hands）由經驗熟練的團隊打造，首席釀酒師 Ben Perkins 與葡萄園管理 Travis Coombe 注重低產與均衡成熟，目標是在希斯科特特殊的紅土中取得濃縮卻優雅的果實。
釀造手法：採取審慎的浸皮與發酵程序以保留純淨果香，入桶以新舊法國橡木混和陳年，增加香料與結構感但不掩蓋果味。整體呈現成熟、層次分明且具陳年潛力的風格。
葡萄園環境：出自富含鐵質的紅色土壤，日夜溫差明顯，讓果皮累積色素與單寧，造就此酒的濃度與張力。入口時能感受土地的礦物與溫暖氣候帶來的成熟糖酸平衡。
Tasting note: A concentrated Heathcote expression with lifted aromas of black cherry, blackberry and plum layered with black pepper, dark chocolate and a hint of licorice. The palate is dense and supple — ripe dark fruit up front, savory earthy mid-palate and firm, fine-grained tannins that carry flavors of toasted spice and cedar through a long finish.
Producer notes: Crafted by Ben Perkins at Two Hands, Max's Garden aims to showcase Heathcote’s iron-rich red soils and warm continental climate. Vineyard manager Travis Coombe tends older, low-yielding vines to build concentration and balance.
Winemaking notes: Fermented with careful extraction to retain fruit purity, matured in a judicious mix of new and seasoned French oak to add spice and structure without overpowering the fruit. The result is concentrated, layered and age-worthy.
Vineyard notes: Sourced from Heathcote sites with deep red, iron-rich soils and strong diurnal temperature shifts. These conditions produce thick-skinned fruit with ripe tannins and intense flavor concentration, giving the wine its signature depth and longevity.
