Two Hands Sexy Beast Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 from McLaren Vale lives up to its name – a dark, seductive Cabernet packed with plush fruit, glossy texture and just the right amount of swagger. Two Hands Sexy Beast Cab 2023 offers that modern Vale style Australia does so well, with richness, vibrancy and immediate drinkability in one very smart package.

In the glass you’re looking at deep purple hues, aromatics of cassis, blackberry, black cherry and a touch of blueberry, woven with cedar, dark chocolate, liquorice and subtle leafiness for varietal lift. The palate is medium‑full, saturated with blackcurrant and dark berries, framed by fine yet assertive Cabernet tannins. There is enough freshness to keep it from feeling heavy, so it stays moreish rather than tiring.

This is a cracking match for char‑grilled Scotch fillet, lamb backstrap with rosemary, slow‑cooked beef ribs or a serious cheeseburger. It will also sit beautifully alongside barbecued sausages, pizza with pepperoni and olives, or hard cheeses like aged cheddar after dinner.
