BIRD IN HAND BUSH SYRAH 2020

Winery notes (2020 Vintage)
"Deep red in colour with bright purple hues, this wine exhibits lifted and intense aromatics, with ripe and spicy dark fruit characters of blackberry and black plum with floral notes and a touch of pepper and spice. A medium bodied and elegant wine with plenty of mid-palate weight and flesh, supple tannins and balanced acidity driving a long finish.

BUSH Syrah is an elegant and alluring expression of contemporary Australian Shiraz. A nod to the past using traditional techniques including wild fermentation and hand plunging combines with modern winemaking finesse. Fruit for this cooler climate shiraz was selected from a diverse range of vineyards across the Adelaide region including the Mt Lofty Ranges, Adelaide Hills and Langhorne Creek. Aged in French oak barrels for 16 months"

5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, February 2023 (2020 Vintage)
"This is stylish and complex on the nose showing blackberry, dried herb, olive, fine leather and spicy oak characters, followed by a concentrated palate displaying fleshy mouthfeel together with refined texture and finely integrated tannins. Wonderfully composed and structured with a sustained engaging finish. At its best: now to 2032."
