A name shared with sometime swan, sometime crow.
Fledgling strokes on West Lakes, he has plied far flung waters
of Oakland Estuary, Lake Mercer, Henley, Varese,
Lucerne and Sea Forest Waterway Tokyo
Big Bird rows
Big Bird has rowed on from Paris but the wines have been receiving accolades from wine writers.
This elegantly framed Chardonnay is worthy of its own gold medals…. A stylish showcase of great Tasmanian fruit. A seductive swirl of white peach and grapefruit, a faint suggestion of nougat and nuts, a cleansing minerally crunch. 93 Points

Bright, light colour; intense nougat aromas, detailed and fresh. ‘Milk bottle’ lolly; very dry and textured on the palate. A fine Chardonnay with room to grow. 92 points
