Two Hands ′Gnarly Dudes′ Shiraz 2021/22, Barossa Valley

21 years ago, Michael Twelftree and Richard Mintz got chatting at a mutual friend’s engagement party. That night, Two Hands was born. Their idea was to make the best possible Shiraz-based wines from the most prized growing regions in Australia. They quickly won plaudits. This is the very best of modern-day Barossa Shiraz. Big, bold and chock-full of black-fruit flavour. It’s even made by a man named Winemaker of the Year 2019 by the Barossa Barons, Richard Langford. Expect flavours of fig, blackcurrant, cedar, liquorice and tar. Try it with a rib-eye steak.
