Two Hands McLaren Vale Dave's Block Shiraz 750ml

Picture this: it's September 1999, and two friends, Michael Twelftree and Richard Mintz, find themselves at a buddy's engagement party. Over drinks and conversations, a bold idea sparks—they'll craft their own Shiraz wines and take them global. That's the origin of Two Hands, a label dedicated to crafting top-tier Shiraz from Australia's standout regions. Forget blended anonymity; these wines spotlight what each vineyard and area brings to the table, letting the fruit shine through in every sip.

Enter the Two Hands McLaren Vale 'Dave's Block' Shiraz 2020, hailing from South Australia. This gem comes from Dave's Block, an exceptional old vineyard high up in Blewitt Springs. The site's white sand over clay soils pair with its cooler elevation, coaxing grapes to ripen at a deliberate pace. The result? A Shiraz with a distinctive lifted spicy aromatic profile that draws you in, backed by tannins that offer superb texture and lasting presence.

At 14.50% ABV and in a standard 750 ml bottle, this dry red (sweetness level 01) captures the essence of McLaren Vale's unique terroir. It's not just another Australian Shiraz—it's a testament to regional diversity, where the vineyard's character leads the way. Whether you're building a cellar with standout singles or seeking a bottle that elevates weeknight dinners into memorable occasions, Dave's Block delivers depth and intrigue.

Two Hands set out to challenge the ordinary, and this 2020 release embodies that vision. From the elevated Blewitt Springs perch to the interplay of soil and slow ripening, every element contributes to a wine that's poised and expressive. Pour it for guests who appreciate nuance, or savor it solo to uncover layers of spice and structure. Priced at $92.99, it's an investment in Australia's Shiraz heritage, ready to become a favorite in your collection.
