The Bird in Hand range is a limited release of premium quality wines created from the best parcels of fruit from every vintage.

Best known for his Rieslings, Jeff Grosset's Chardonnay is also known for its pure expression of variety and place. Free-run juice fermented in French oak and 30% malolactic fermentation has resulted in a riotously perfumed Chardonnay with bright, fresh fruit.

An intense and fine note of gooseberry and flint dominate this wine. The palate is refreshing with notes of green grass and mineral. A wonderfully polished Sauvignon Blanc, complex and refined. A great partner to goat's cheese, zesty salads and chicken.

Light, bright lemon in colour with a lively, freshly cut pear and baked bread character on the nose. Good structure and body, it has lovely elegance on the palate with ripe pears, a touch of sherbet.

This wine is ruby red in colour, with purple hues. This Negroamaro is intense with notes of blackberries and blackcurrants. It is medium bodied and velvety, with good balance and savoury notes on the finish.

The Capitel della Crosara vineyard lies in the heart of the Valpolicella region and gives its name to Montresor's top Amarone and Ripassso. This is an excellent example with bright, fresh cherry fruit.

Ruby red in colour with violet hues this wine has a complex nose of ripe red fruits. The palate is dry yet soft withthe right amount of tannins and good length.

Allegrini’s take on the “Ripasso” method is made from a portion of grapes dried just for this wine (and not from the Amarone pomace). It's a smooth, velvety wine with ripe, juicy dark fruit and silky tannins.

Deep red in colour. Hints of blackberry and blackcurrants mix with spicy, balsamic notes on the nose. Great structure on the palate and a long, persistent finish.

The vineyards belonging to this estate are superb; low-trained and planted on the volcanic soils of the slopes of Mount Vulture at altitudes of up to 800 metres above sea level. The area is one of Italy's most remote and poorest. It is isolated and undeveloped and according to consultant winemaker Alberto Antonini, is like stepping back in time a few centuries.

An elegant wine with aromas of black fruit, a touch of liquorice and subtle oak characters. The palate is balanced with ripe black fruits, bright crunchy acidity and fine grained tannins.

The result of a delicate harvest and winemaking process, Vines del Vero Gewürztraminer presents greenish sparkles on a bright pale yellow background. The aromatic palate is wide and heady, with a floral range remincescent of flower petals and exotic oriental fruit. The velvety attack and large amount of aromas on the
palate, along with its unctuousness, make this wine very unique.

Bright cherry colour with purple rim, bright and clean.
Very expressive, powerful, complex, fresh fruit, sweet spices, creamy oak, red berry notes.
Flavourful, fruity, toasty with round tannins and good finish.

Dark ruby in colour. Savory aromas on the nose with mineral and black fruit. Well-structured and elegant, with mineral, smoky, balsamic, and subtle hints of black fruit

An abundance of lemon zest, tangerine oil, quince and white fruits are leaping all over your mouth. White almonds and minerality give this a wonderful balance

Tomas Postigo has made with his name in Ribera del Duero mainly as the ex winemaker of Pago De Carraovejas. Tempranillo (Tinta Fina) 85%, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot, and aged for 12 months in new French oak is a very high quality wine. Big dark prune like fruit with a real meat edge this is a blockbuster of a wine.

The deep crimson-coloured 2006 Quinta Sardonia gives up an aromatic array of cedar, Asian spices, incense, and blackberry. Savoury and supple on the palate, it has enough underlying structure to evolve for 2-3 years and should be at its best from 2012 to 2026.

In his Ribera Del Duero 2022 Special Report, Tim Atkin MW tasted his way through 578 wines from 160 producers and chose the 2020 Mirum as his top wine of the year, awarding it with 98 points. That rates it as high as Pingus & Unico at a fraction of the price.
No small feat for this estate which is rocketing into the echelons of Spanish wine.

Strawberry ice cream on the nose supported by a bright, fruit packed strawberry jam palate. Selected from old vine vineyards in the Lodi region of central California.

The fruit for Scotto's Old Vine Zinfandel originates from one of the oldest and most distinctive Zinfandel growing regions in California.

McManis Family Vineyards Zinfandel is a dark purple wine, loaded with notes of ripe red currant, strawberry, caramelized sugar, and toasty oak. The savory red fruit on the palate leads to soft, supple tannins and a smooth finish.

Sourced from three estate vineyards in the Livermore valley which are planted on sloping benchs to produce luscious wines with deep richness. Each vineyard is picked ripe to accentuate the deep jammy fruit flavours, yet the alcohol remains balanced. Aromas and flavors of raspberry, blackberry, spice and black pepper. With a firm tannic backbone and ripe chewy finish.

Recioto Giovanni Allegrini is deep ruby red in color and has a spicy bouquet with hints of dried fruit. It is full and velvety on the palate.

One of the great grapes of Madeira. This 10YR Verdelho has a lovely tangy apricot core , intermingled with some thrilling acidity that is the hallmark of Barbeito Madeiras. Keeps for an age in the fridge once opened, makes for a very stimulating aperitif. Off dry, but real complexity here, highly commended.

Deliciosa' Manzanilla is produced using the traditional method of the Solera and Criadera system. Matured in Sancúlar de Barrameda, a town on the Atlantic coast, within the "Golden Triangle" area of Jerez-Xérès-Sherry production. Here, the gentle sea breezes help to give this wine a very dry, light, crisp and slightly salty flavour. Fresh and intriguing on the nose.
