Two Hands ‘Dave’s Block’ Shiraz 2021
“Dave’s Block is a very special old vineyard perched on an elevated site in Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale. The soil is classic white sand over clay, the cooler elevation allows the grapes to slowly mature.
This vineyard was created from cuttings off the Kay Brother’s Block Six, a well known vineyard with 110 year old vines. Previously used as the McLaren Vale component for Ares, Dave’s Block became part of the Single Vineyard Series in 2014 when we decided to bring Ares back to 100% Barossa Valley fruit.” – Two Hands Wines.

Region:
Nose:
Very pretty aromas of camphor, lavender, red cherries,
mocha, glazed sweets, fresh plum, mint and olive lift from the
glass.
Palate:
Straight away the palate is coated with a sweet inner core and energy. The mulberry and blackberry fruits roll and caress the palate as if in slow motion. This holds a lovely nerve, where the fruits generosity rolls and lengthens through the velvety soft tannins. This is tailormade McLaren Vale Shiraz,
showing much more interest and imagination than so much of the regions standard fare. What I love the most is the soft stony mouthfeel you receive once the wine has had time in a good decanter. Tasted with a topflight stem, balance and effortless energy is what we have here. This wine will age at a snail’s pace, and will reward the smart person that ages it for the longest of hauls.
