The 'Gnarly Dude' name pays homage to the gnarled old Shiraz and Grenache vines that are still on their own roots around the Barossa Valley, while also drawing inspiration from our founder's favorite movie, The Big Lebowski.
Producer: Two Hands Wines Country: Australia Varietal: Shiraz
The 2022 Gnarly Dudes Shiraz hails from Barossa and a wonderful season in 2022. This is concentrated and earthy but fresh, too, and the tannins that shape the fruit have a rose petal delicacy to them. This is really good, a giving wine—generous and satisfying.
The Wine Advocate
There are black pepper, cherry and chocolate vibes to start here. They lead to a palate that's big but surprisingly fresh thanks to a lift of tangy acidity, which brightens fruit and softens tannins. It's no wallflower, but its power is reined in, allowing the fruit and site character to shine. Drink now and over the next seven to eight years
