Two Hands ‘Waterfall Block’ Shiraz 2021
“Waterfall Block is the newest addition to the Single Vineyard stable, and a very unique and interesting vineyard, close to the Adelaide CBD.
Waterfall Block is complexing steep site that needs to be seen to be believed: It has many short steep rows that are protected from the early morning light from the highest point of the Mount Lofty Ranges behind and again by the searing late day sun from a steep hillside to the north. This is an amazing micro climate that allows the low-yielding vines to ripen at their leisure with a canopy that keeps moving along with minimal stress.” – Two Hands Wines.

Cellaring:
Enjoy now or 15+ years in ideal cellaring conditions.
Nose:
Immediate aromas of ginger, nutmeg, menthol, dark
cherries, walnut, dried rose petal, rosemary, and blood plum come from the glass
Palate:
This wine is not overly concentrated or thick in the mouth, the fruits are linear and draw along a fine grain of tannin. This wine is very fine boned, elegant and feminine in its delivery.
The most interesting wines are the ones that ask you the most
questions, and this wine has the amazing ability to show you a different aromatic component each time you lift and smell the glass. What captured my interest the most with this wine is its soft and weightless energy, the tannins come to the fold very late and are always there in the back ground. The finish leaves you with a drying mouthfeel of flavour filled dark fruits, this is such an interesting wine for such an interesting micro climate. two acres of vines wedged on to the side of a steep hill in the suburb of Burnside, amazingly only eight kilometres from the Central Post Office of Adelaide.
