Bird in Hand Sauvignon Blanc

The 2026 South Australian vintage unfolded under challenging conditions.

A cool start interrupted by fierce heat waves that kept many regions trailing their seasonal timeline. A timely late-summer rain event proved transformative, relieving vine stress and resetting ripeness progression. This natural intervention allowed flavour complexity and acidity to develop in harmony, creating ideal conditions for expressive aromatic wines.

Bird in Hand Sauvignon Blanc captures the essence of this exceptional year. Expect a vibrant bouquet of lemon zest, passionfruit and fresh herbaceous notes, layered with hints of lime leaf and delicate white florals. The palate delivers concentrated citrus and stone fruit character, bright lime, grapefruit and white nectarine. This is underpinned by crisp natural acidity that defines the finish with precision and length.

A wine of purity and focus, best appreciated young as an aperitif or alongside fresh grilled oily fish, seafood, chargrilled squid, and prawns will showcase its bright acidity and fruitforward profile beautifully.
