Description

Founded in 1999 by Michael Twelftree and Richard Mintz, Two Hands was built on a simple idea: to shine a light on the character and diversity of Australian Shiraz, one region at a time.

The 2023 Gnarly Dudes is classic Barossa through and through. It comes off the back of a cooler growing season - great news for balance and brightness - while older French oak keeps the focus firmly on the fruit.

Expect a generous hit of spice and dark berries, some dried herbs and a whiff of peppery meatiness. It’s juicy, textured, and finishes savoury, with fine, chewy tannins keeping everything in line.

It’s a great intro to the Two Hands style - flavour-packed and regional, but never over the top. Solid value, too.

"Plush plum, blueberry and boysenberry with dark chocolate, panforte, olives and spice. Opulent yet savoury, with fine, sandy tannins and slow, spicy fade."
- Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

93 points - "A ripe, juicy, contemporary Barossa shiraz with plush plum, blueberry and boysenberry fruit tones along with an array of dark spice, fruitcake, dark chocolate, panforte, olive tapenade, vanilla pod, violets and earth. I love the fruit this year, there's an opulence to it but it tends towards savoury at the back end, fading off slowly with oodles of spice, roasting meats and fine, sandy tannin." - Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

Gnarly Dudes, An unctuous yet classic Barossa Valley Shiraz. The 2023 Gnarly Dudes is a deep strong black in colour. The aromatics are lifted and very intense. A tight bouquet slowly emerges with notes of cedar, raspberry, cola, black current, menthol and blood plum.
