Two Hands Gnarly Dudes Shiraz 2023

Two Hands Wines was founded in early 1999 by Michael Twelftree and Richard Mintz. Their intention is to showcase the diversity of Australian Shiraz by highlighting regional characteristics and allowing the fruit to be the primary feature of the wines

Grape Varietals & Region:100% Shiraz from Barossa Valley, Australia

Taste Profile: 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.

Winemaking Process:The fruit was crushed into and fermented in 5, 7 and 10 tonneopen fermenters. During the peak of fermentation the batchesreceived regular pump overs 2-3 times daily. The average timeon skins was 15 days. Maturation occurred in 12% new French oakhogsheads for 14 months, the balance in 1 to 8 year old. Aftermaturation the final blend was lightly fined and unfiltered prior tobottling.
