A South Australian shiraz has graced the lips of two of Hollywood’s hottest movie stars in the world’s most anticipated movie of the year.
The Sex and the City movie features a cameo appearance by Australian shiraz producer Two Hands Wines.
Harry and Edward’s Garden Langhorne Creek Shiraz, from Two Hands Wines’ Garden Series, appears in a restaurant scene with Carrie and Miranda (played by Sarah Jessica Parker and Cynthia Nixon) about three quarters through the movie.
Carrie and Miranda order a bottle of shiraz and the waitress brings them a bottle of the Two Hands wine. When the wine is placed on the table, the Two Hands Wines logo can be seen. “We had heard a whisper that our wine might make an appearance, but it wasn’t until the movie premiered in the United States that our distributors spotted the Two Hands Wines logo,” coproprietor of Two Hands Wines, Richard Mintz, said.
“It’s our understanding the film producer had tasted our wines previously and requested a bottle from our United States distributors to appear in the movie. “Our distributors first sent bottles of our Angel’s Share McLaren Vale Shiraz and Gnarly Dudes Barossa Valley Shiraz, thinking the names and labels might provide a point of interest. “However, they requested a cork-sealed wine in case the shoot required the pulling or showing of a cork, so our distributors sent them our Two Hands Harry & Edward’s Garden Shiraz as an alternative.
“They couldn’t have picked a more appropriate wine.”
Harry and Edward’s Langhorne Creek shiraz is named after Richard’s twin sons and the boys are thrilled that their wine has made it to the big screen.
Two Hands prides itself on producing luxury, iconic wines and has developed something of a following in the United States and globally with its range of super premium wines.
