An unctuous yet classic Barossa Valley Shiraz
Tannins are prominent but melt beautifully into a wall of fruit.
Pair this wine with red meats such as rack of lamb or vension steaks to make the most of those full bodied flavours

Two Hands Gnarly Dudes Barossa Valley Shiraz 2017 (Australia)
Description
Notes of black cherry, fresh blackberry, fresh lavender, pastry crust, and dark chocolate. Hits the palate with vibrancy and pop. Bright berry notes dance across the palate. Medium to full bodied with richness of fruit balanced by bright refreshing acidity. Tannins are prominent but melt beautifully into a wall of fruit. Finished with a lovely long palate, accented by notes of red licorice, lavender, and dark chocolate with a creamy texture from lees contact.
'Gnarly Dudes' is part of Two Hands 'Picture Series', in which every wine has its own inspiration, and Two Hands own take on popular culture. With some old school polaroid imagery by friend and photographer Don Brice and a quirky back label descriptor, the aim is to bring a smile to your face when you pick up the bottle, reminding you that wines should be approachable and of course… fun. This premium collection of wines deliver regional and varietal distinctiveness packaged under unique and irreverent personalities.
The many parcels making up this wine were crushed into and fermented in three, five, seven and 10 tonne open top vessels. Regular pump overs three times daily were performed during the peak of fermentation to extract flavours, colour and tannins. At pressing, the free run and pressings were combined to tank, then racked to barrel for oak maturation where malolactic fermentation occurred. All batches were kept separate and blended just prior to bottling.
Matured for 12 months in French oak, which 15% was new, and the remainder in one to six year old puncheons and hogsheads.
