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
