About this wine

Bird in Hand Nest Egg Shiraz is a limited release Shiraz, only made in outstanding vintages and with each bottle individually numbered.  Rated one of Australia’s top wines by critic James Haliday, the Nest Egg range of wines represents the very best of Bird in Hand, with elite barrels selected based on intensity of flavour, concentration and finesse. Made in limited quantities, the 2015 Nest Egg Shiraz spent 22 months ageing in barrels that are 65% new oak.  The 2015 vintage is powerful yet distinctly cool climate, with notes of brambly black fruit, supported by cracked pepper, nuanced floral violets and black olive. Structured in its youth, with rich and brooding shiraz fruit, the wine will develop and evolve beautifully over time.

Food pairing: A perfect partner for red meat, enjoy with steak or slow-cooked ribs.

Alcohol: 14.5% ABV

    string(832) "Also known as Syrah, Shiraz was the variety which introduced the world to the concentrated and masculine wines of 1990s’ Australia. Here in the Barossa Valley, Langhorne Creek, Clare Valley and McLaren Vale it produces wines of great density and richness. In South Africa there tends to be more structure and freshness with earthy tannins. It is a variety which alters in the bottle very much as a result of the individual winemaker’s philosophy, as well as reflecting the unique terroir of the estates. Great with oak, it offers lavender, kirsch, black cherry and cured meat aromas and flavours. In its native Northern Rhône it is famous for the wines of Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie, whilst in the New World can lay claim to providing Australia with its two most famous wines; Henschke’s Hill of Grace and Penfold’s Grange."
