Log in / Sign up Two Hands Coach House Block Single Vineyard Shiraz 2021
The Coach House Block Shiraz comes from an Estate grown single vineyard near the tiny hamlet of Greenock in the Barossa Valley.
Purchased in 2001, the Coach House vineyard (formally known as the Branson Coach House) produces exceptional Barossa Valley Shiraz, but one block amongst the 18 acres of vineyard has continually proven to be special. Known internally as Highway Block, this special block has consistently come up as Single Vineyard quality each vintage, during our blind tasting barrel trials.

A very strong bouquet of warm oil, incense, pipe smoke, lavender, cassis, asian spice, creosote, warm bark and fresh plum spring from the glass
The palate starts out flowing with an initially sweet core of boisterous and impenetrable fruits. This wine pitches high in the mid palate, and then starts to slide down the back side of the late palate. This finishes lush, concentrated and very long, with flavours of boysenberry and blackberry liqueur. The massive fruit here does fit with the under lying structure, this is quintessential Barossa Valley shiraz from the Western Ranges. With aeration, this wine really starts to evolve, more spice notes of mocha and rhubarb appear. The palate evens out and the tannins start to show a very linear and mineral edge. This wine has excellent length and will offer great pleasure for many years to come.
