2020 Bird in Hand Two in the Bush Shiraz
The 2020 Bird in Hand Two in the Bush Shiraz is a great-value, everyday drinking Shiraz from one of Adelaide Hills' most characterful producers. Named after one of the original mineshafts in the Bird in Hand goldmine, the Two in the Bush range is designed for exactly this — approachable, fruit-driven wines that deliver real pleasure without ceremony.
Bird in Hand takes its name from a historic gold rush-era mine in the Adelaide Hills, and the estate has been producing wines from this cool-climate region since 1997. The Two in the Bush is their everyday label — same estate, same cool-climate Adelaide Hills fruit, but designed for immediate enjoyment rather than cellaring. If you want a reliable, fruit-forward Shiraz at an honest price, this is a strong choice.
Deep red with bright purple hues. Lifted and intense aromatics with ripe and spicy dark fruit characters of blackberry and black plum, mixed with a touch of pepper and vanilla bean. Medium-bodied and elegant with plenty of mid-palate weight and flesh, supple tannins, and balanced acidity driving a long finish.
Medium-bodied with supple tannins and fresh acidity. Drinking beautifully now and best enjoyed over the next 2–3 years while the fruit remains vibrant. No decanting required — open and pour.
At HK$139, this is one of the most accessible and reliable Shirazes in the store. Cool-climate Adelaide Hills fruit, a producer with a strong track record, and a style that works equally well on its own or with food. A great everyday bottle that over-delivers at its price.
