Bird in Hand Shiraz is a full-bodied and complex wine. It has an intense ruby red color, a bouquet of blackberry, black pepper, and vanilla, and a rich flavor profile – it's spicy, fruit-driven, and smoky. The wine is made from the Shiraz grape variety which is famous for its bold and peppery character. The grapes used in this bottle are hand-picked from Bird in Hand's estate vineyard in the Adelaide Hills region of Australia. The wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels which give it a silky texture and a subtle vanilla flavor. It's a versatile wine that pairs well with hearty meats, rich stews, and strong cheeses.

Tasting Notes

Lifted and perfumed on the nose, this shows notes of blackberry and plum laced with classic nuances of black pepper, spice, vanilla and cedar. Medium to full bodied and elegant with fleshy dark fruit characters, silky tannins and balanced acidity culminating in a long and rewarding finish.

About the Winery

Bird in Hand Foundation is a winery established in 2014. In addition to its winemaking business, it works to deliver beneficial commodities to the community. It takes pride in the excellent support and initiatives it offers to help young creatives focus and achieve their dreams. The Foundation does so for any talent in the fields of education and art.

The vineyards of Bird in Hand lie in the central region of the country of Australia. They enjoy some of the most beneficial conditions required for growing vines and producing wines. The location experiences a cold climate, influenced by the seaside in the Gulf of St. Vincent. It gets complemented by the clouded environment of the Mount Lofty Ranges. This contrast creates a shift in the temperature that proves highly advantageous for the grapes.

Nevertheless, the soil and climate are not the only factors that allow the grown grapevines, harvested grapes, and produced wines to be of such high quality. The actual and ultimate parameter is the amount of time and effort that the workers and staff of Bird in Hand put behind the vineyards. They harvest and produce in a manner that allows the produced wines to express and deliver the exceptional and unforgettable characteristics of the terroirs.

Bird in Hand follows sustainable methods and practices of agriculture and winemaking. They minimise the usage and intervention of chemicals and synthetic products on the soil. All these allow the ripened and harvested grapes to become creamy, soft, and flavourful. The winery implements clone selection to bring out the distinct subtleness of the wines.

Bird in Hand works with the belief that their wines represent and deliver a valuable globalist outlook and extract consistent excellence from the land. That is why they focus and direct their earnings to a more significant cause.
