Tasting notes
This 2021 Shiraz Gnarly Dudes is a chocolatey and generous wine delivering lashings of sweet fruit - primarily blackberry and mulberry. Thanks to the cooler vintage, there is also an attractive, gentle lift of dried sage and Szechuan pepper. There's lots to like here with power but also subtlety, plus a finish of decent length.

100% Shiraz. From the Two Hands boutique producer with Richard Langford at the helm. Floral and precise this also shows some typical Barossa Valley character with a leathery note, plum fruit and finely interwoven oak. (AWH)
This 2021 Gnarly Dudes Shiraz is aptly named, and shows the earthy side of the Barossa in the glass. The 2021 season was cool, and a welcome reprieve from the low-yielding, warm couple of vintages that preceded it. As such, this wine is a little slower to emerge from its shell and will really benefit from a further year in bottle. Smart, though.
