Bird in Hand Two in the Bush — Adelaide Hills Chardonnay at Its Most Approachable

Two in the Bush is Bird in Hand's everyday drinking label — named after one of the original mineshafts in the Bird in Hand goldmine — and this Chardonnay is a beautifully balanced, medium-bodied Adelaide Hills white that delivers classic cool-climate stone fruit character, subtle oak complexity, and generous fleshy texture at a price that makes it one of the most rewarding everyday whites.

Tasting Notes

Bright pale straw in the glass. The nose is fresh and inviting — fresh peach, blossom, and apricot spice lead with charm and clarity. On the palate, driven predominantly by classic cool-climate Chardonnay stone fruit characters — peach, nectarine, and apricot — with subtle oak-derived nougat and cashew adding complexity and texture.

Food Pairing

The fresh peach and nectarine character of the 2021 Bird in Hand Two in the Bush Chardonnay make it a great match for Bare Bird Premium Free-Range Whole Boneless Butterflied Chicken from My Meat Man — roasted with lemon, garlic and thyme, the tender free-range chicken is a magnificent match for the wine's stone fruit freshness and subtle Adelaide Hills oak.
