In 1997, a young viticulturalist and winemaker, Andrew Nugent, chanced his arm in the emerging wine region of the Adelaide Hills planting vineyards and an olive grove on 100 acres on Bird in Hand Road, Woodside. The road itself was named after the "Bird in Hand" gold mine that operated in the district in the 1850s. Four hundred metres above sea level, the vineyards face north and boast deep, well drained red earth, formed from metamorphic rock. Andrew grew up next door to Penfolds at Magill and his formative wine years were spent in South Australia’s McLaren Vale. It was here that he honed his craft as a viticulturalist, vineyard manager and winemaker. The Nugent family live and work on the picturesque property, reflecting the strong sense of community in the Adelaide Hills. To extend the winemaking range available to Bird in Hand, another vineyard in the famous wine-growing region of Clare has been acquired to provide fruit for world class Riesling and Shiraz. - Bird In Hand wines Bird In Hand Sort By: Default Title - A to Z Title - Z to A Price - lowest first Price - highest first Time Added - latest first Popularity - most popular first Sales - best selling first Bird In Hand Two In The Bush Adelaide Hills Chardonnay - 12 bottle case 92 Points YWG 5 Red Star Halliday Rated Winery Barrel... $237.60 Bird In Hand Two In The Bush Adelaide Hills Merlot Cabernet - 12 bottle case 91 Points YWG 91 Points James Halliday 5 Red... $237.60 Ok
