Two Hands Gnarly Dudes Shiraz 2024 750ml
A bold and characterful Barossa Shiraz, Gnarly Dudes opens with deep dark red hues and flashes of magenta. Aromas of blackberry and bramble are layered with savoury notes of roast meats, lavender and a hint of coal dust. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with waves of blackberry and plum supported by nuances of pipe smoke and cedar. Dense yet polished, this is an unctuous yet classic expression of Barossa Valley Shiraz — powerful, generous and unmistakably Australian.

Deep dark red, with flecks of magenta at the meniscus. Dark and alluring with notes of blackberries, bramble, roast meats, lavender and coal dust. Lovely density and weight, blackberry and plum cascade across the palate with notes of roast meats, pipe smoke and cedar playing a supporting role.
