Two Hands’ Deer in the Headlights Shiraz 2002 is a great opportunity to taste a premium and increasingly difficult to get hold of Australian Shiraz.

Two hands was established by Michael Twelftree and Richard Mintz in 1999 in order to make the best possible Shiraz in Australia; and in just ten years their eclectically named wines have consistently won rave reviews. In fact, Two Hands Wines were listed in the Wine Spectator Top 100 for the last five years and Robert Parker further heaped the praise on, pronouncing Two Hands as "the finest negociant operation south of the equator"!

The intriguingly named ‘Deer in the Headlights Shiraz’ is part of Two Hands’ ‘Showroom Series’ – a very limited selection of wines made in tiny quantities. Occasionally, while tasting, we realise that we have something special. That is the moment we look at each other, stunned like Deer in Headlights.

"Eden Valley’s dense blue/purple-hued 2002 Shiraz Deer in the Headlights is sensational. A spectacular nose of creme de cassis, blackberries, vanilla beans, and espresso is accompanied by a massive yet remarkably elegant Shiraz with tremendous precision and oodles of fruit and glycerin. Stunningly proportioned, fresh, and lively for its size, it reveals the potential to drink well young, yet evolve for a decade or more." eRobertParker.com

“Two Hands is a negociant operation run impeccably by Michael Twelftree. It reflects the best that can be sourced from all over South Australia.” eRobertParker.com
