Colours of the South is one of the Purple Hands brands. Craig Stansborough, also chief winemaker for Grant Burge Wines and his mate Mark Slade, own and make all of the wines for Purple Hands, including the Colours of the South Range, the After Five range and the Planta Circa range. When doing vintage you can’t help but have permanently purple hands. The red colouring and tannins seep into your pores and as your hands crack and glaze, become a temporary and changing tattoo, a momento of working your hands in wine.' The two purple hands are Craig Stansborough, chief winemaker for Grant Burge, and Mark Slade. They have a small patch of Shiraz near Williamstown, a cooler part of the Barossa. They buy in Grenache and Mataro. Quality of the wines is utterly exceptional, made with purple hands and guaranteed to stain your tongue black. James Halliday rated Purple Hands Wines as one of the 10 best new 5 star wineries in his 2013 guide.
