The dedicated team at Bird in Hand are driven by a determination to grow into one of the world's great wineries. Proprietor Andrew Nugent lives and works among the vines and the winery. He has assembled the best team, he's painstakingly selected the perfect terroir and is well on his way to realizing the ultimate dream. Bird in Hand is an extremely limited release which has claimed a breathtaking list of wine show accolades, including International Wine Challenge trophies for best Adelaide Hills red, best Australian red and best Australian Shiraz.

Andrew Nugent grew up next door to the historic Penfold wineworks at Magill, his formative wine years were spent amongst the vines. He established his own vineyard and olive grove on a hundred acres of land along Bird in Hand Road at Woodside. His efforts have since claimed a staggering list of awards for excellence on the international wine show circuit. Hand crafted from the finest parcels of Adelaide Hills Shiraz, grapes are crushed into small open fermenters and pumped over twice daily throughout vinification over the course of a week, to maximise flavour and tannin extractions. Batches are pressed off skins into a selection of French oak barriques for sixteen months maturation.
