This playful name, referencing a clumsy dancer, belies the meticulous winemaking that brings together the power of Shiraz with the elegance of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Aromatic Symphony
The first impression you'll receive is an alluring bouquet bursting with life. Ripe, dark fruits take centre stage, with juicy plums and blackberries leading the way.

As the wine opens up, intriguing spice notes come to the fore, reminiscent of cinnamon and clove, adding complexity to the aroma.

The dominant flavours are a delightful interplay between sweet plum and rich mocha, creating an almost decadent mouthfeel.

The tannins are beautifully integrated, leaving a smooth and polished finish that lingers pleasantly on the palate.
Food Pairings for a Perfect Harmony
This versatile blend is a culinary chameleon, adapting to a wide range of dishes. Here are some suggestions to elevate your dining experience:
- Hearty Fare: The bold character of the Two Left Feet makes it a perfect match for grilled meats. Pair it with a juicy steak, marinated lamb chops, or a hearty beef stew. The wine's richness can stand up to the robust flavours of these dishes, while the fruit notes complement the savoury elements.
- Rich Vegetarian Options: Don't neglect vegetarian dishes! The Two Left Feet pairs beautifully with portobello mushroom burgers, lentil stews with smoky paprika, or roasted vegetables with a balsamic reduction.

- Cheese Platter Magic: Cheese lovers rejoice! The Two Left Feet is an excellent companion to a selection of cheeses. Opt for mature cheddar, creamy brie, or a selection of hard Italian cheeses. The wine's tannins will cleanse the palate between bites, allowing you to fully appreciate the diverse flavours of the cheese platter.
