2 Up Shiraz is a recent arrival from Down Under, now in its fourth vintage. Two-up is a popular, centuries-old, Australian game of chance played in the back of pubs, using two pennies and a paddle called a “kip.” Bets are placed, coins are tossed, and everyone goes wild till the pennies land... either both heads—a "two-up," tails or odds—a "one-up." If you get a two-up, you double your money. This Shiraz is surely worth double your money!

Kevin O’Brien and his wife Helen are the two heads behind 2 Up, an elegant, intense, high-quality Shiraz sourced from premium appellations in South Australia. In 1997 they took a gamble in buying the Kangarilla Road Winery. Kangarilla Road produces the highly acclaimed Kangarilla Road Shiraz. 2 Up Shiraz uses some of the best grapes from surrounding estates in South Australia.

2 Up Shiraz is dark ruby red in color, bold and rich, with medium-full body and velvety tannins. It offers hallmark aromas and flavors of spicy blueberry, blackberry, black cherry, chocolate, and nicely integrated oak. Aged in French and American oak for 12 months, this is a big wine with elegance. It is well balanced to enjoy now and over the next 5-6 years, impressive in its long, rich finish.

Enjoy 2 Up Shiraz with roast leg of lamb, grilled steak, filet mignon, rich vegetable dishes and aged cheddar.
