Two Hands Holy Grail Shiraz Seppeltsfield Road
Two Hands Holy Grail Shiraz is a commanding single-vineyard expression from Seppeltsfield in the Barossa Valley. Powerful yet finely structured, it captures the essence of its ironstone-rich hillside terroir with precision, delivering depth, mineral tension and remarkable elegance—an iconic Shiraz built for both immediate impact and long-term cellaring. Tasting Notes & Experience
Inky and impenetrable with a vibrant magenta rim, this Shiraz opens with an intense bouquet of blackberry, black cherry and plum layered with notes of star anise, cracked pepper and warm ironstone. Subtle florals of dried lavender and savoury herbs add lift and complexity. The palate is plush and enveloping, revealing rich dark fruit framed by a mineral spine and firm, gravelly tannins. A long, resonant finish of espresso, tapenade and cedar lingers with impressive persistence. Key Details

Two Hands Wines has built a global reputation for showcasing the diversity of Australian Shiraz through a hands-on, small-batch philosophy. The Holy Grail vineyard, perched on a steep ridge in Seppeltsfield, is a prized estate site producing intensely flavoured fruit. With meticulous vineyard care and minimal intervention in the winery, this wine reflects both the ambition of its creators and the singular character of its origin. Special Features
Sourced from a single vineyard of ironstone and quartz soils over clay, the vines produce small, concentrated berries with a distinctive mineral edge. Hand-harvested fruit is fermented in small parcels before 18 months maturation in French oak hogsheads. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, the wine preserves its natural power and detail, offering a rare combination of Barossa richness and structural finesse. Recognition & Accolades
