Tasting Notes

Aroma

The aromatics are intense red berry fruits and liquorice on the nose. A tight bouquet slowly emerges with notes of cedar, cola, blackberry, mint and blood plum.

Appearance

The 2023 Gnarly Dudes is a deep strong black in colour.

Palate

A generous volume of rich fruit envelops your palate, offering a deep, layered, and lingering experience. These flavors carry through onto the palate, where balanced ripe tannins contribute to a rich, rounded, and supple texture. The evolving fruit notes lead to a finish with persistent fruit, delivering immediate enjoyment. This is quintessential Barossa, with tannins that possess a plushness, nerve, and energy, making it a richly rewarding experience.

Vinification

The parcels of fruit were crushed into and fermented in 3, 5, 7 and 10 tonne open top vessels. Regular pump overs three times daily were performed during the peak of fermentation. At pressing, the free run and pressings were combined to tank, then racked to barrel for oak maturation. The wine was matured for 12 months in French oak, 13% new, and the remainder in one to six year old puncheons and hogsheads. All batches were kept separate and blended just prior to bottling.

Vintage Notes

The 2023 season was challenging, we experienced a very wet winter with a number of very humid days to match. Heat summation over summer and sun daylight hours were going to be much lower than we were normally used to, presenting us with a much slower ripening curve. With wine we put the vintage year on the label for a reason, to show what we can achieve in an independent 12-month period, from pruning to wine in barrels. I am thrilled with what our Two Hands team has achieved in such a perplexing, challenging and interesting season.
