Description Craig Stansborough and Mark Slade started Purple Hands in southern Barossa in 2006, from humble beginnings, making just 100 dozen the first vintage. Today "Purple Hands captures the purity and elegance that is possible when the raw materials are in good hands" Dave Brookes, The Halliday Wine Companion. Of this Grenache, Dave says: "Crunchy, bright and airy on the palate with some nice sour cherry twang... a whole lot of inherent drinkability from the word go. Great stuff.” "Dangerously drinkable" adds Regan Drew, Winepilot.
