Andrew Nugent grew up next door to the great historical wineworks at Penfolds Magill. He honed his craft as viticulturalist and vigneron amongst the illustrious wineries of old McLaren Vale. In the 1990s, Nugent planted new vines at Woodside along Bird In Hand Road, on the site of an ancient gold mine, a godsend of fortuitously fertile soils and magnificent mesoclimes for stellar quality Adelaide Hills wine. Bird In Hand have since amassed a breathtaking tally of international accolades for the unrivalled excellence of their superlative vintages, wonderfully small batch releases, with the magnificence of structure, seamlessness and immaculacy of fruit, to enthuse curio and cognescenti alike...

Tempus Two Pewter Botrytis Semillon 250ml CONFIRM VINTAGE

Semillon Riverina New South Wales
She's such a special wine, that a distinctive hand blown bottle was designed just for her. Tempus Two is the definition of romance and desirability, elegance and finesse, all who have countenanced her endowments agree. She was a star right from inaugural vintage, after claiming gold medal and Best Sweet White at the prestigious Boutique Wines of Australia. An opulent elixir, layered with flavours of dried apricot and spice, rancio, honeycombs and marmalade, exquisitely aromatic, lingering on a seemingly endless finish.

Tempus Two is the culmination of Lisa McGuigan's dream to create a world class tourism experience within an ultra premium winemaking estate. Tempus Two have broken the tradition with their tantalizing editions of dessert wine, sealing the precious liquid within hand blown bottles of Italian glass, which have claimed conspicuous design awards. Botrytis Cinerea Noble Rot is a fungal infection which causes dehydration and concentration of juices within the infected grape. There was much debate at Tempus Two about which style to produce from the intensely sweet Griffith Semillon. Natural sugar levels were heightened and grapes harvested late to enhance the intense flavours. Alcohol 10.0%
Colour is a deep golden yellow. Aromas of preserved apricots and candied citrus marmalade with hints of wild honey. Powerfully rich and opulent displaying the quintessence of botrytis semillon. The flavours of dried apricots, citrus fruit marmalade and underlined by a subtle touch of wild honey. Tempus Two displays restrained acidity ending with a refreshing citrus lift, balanced by the concentration of flavours that give overall elegance and finesse.

Tempus Two

Tempus Two Winery represents a bright new chapter in one of Australia’s most exciting wine stories. Lisa McGuigan’s passion for wine was inevitable as she represents the fourth generation of one of the Hunter Valley’s most famous winemaking families. Before turning to the industry ingrained in her soul, she spent a decade pursuing a career in hospitality and five star hotel management. It was during this time that she conceived Tempus Two - right down to the tiniest detail.

Sharing the vision is the Roche family, creators of the multi-award winning Hunter Valley Gardens and now developing some of the Hunter Valley's finest wines. Their passion for the area is seen in the commitment to building first class facilities so it was inevitable that the two families would unite in wine and wine tourism. Roche Wines include the historic Tallawanta vineyard, the revered Stevens vineyard and the recently redeveloped Harrigans Hill vineyard. The range includes the highly awarded Roche Premium range, including the benchmark IJR and WR Hunter Shiraz, the Tallawanta range and the fun new Harrigans Hill range.

The award winning structure is comprised of a state of the art boutique winery, cellar door, Oishii - Japanese and Thai Restaurant, and 10,000 seat amphitheatre. The winery features a range of cultural events throughout the year including themed dance nights, community art shows, drama and theatre productions. Tempus Two also hosts a variety of functions from private weddings and celebrations, to corporate dinners, conferences and product releases.

At the centre of the facility is the Cellar Door, home of Roche and Tempus Two Wines. Entry is greeted by guitars and/or funky chill-out beats that fill the air and create a unique, modern atmosphere. Beyond the glass doors lies an intricate floor mosaic. The estate's trademark handcrafted Italian bottles with distinct Copper and Pewter labels are all about a combination of new-wave winemaking techniques and innovative packaging. The dynamic winemaking team put care and effort into sourcing only the finest quality grapes, from the Hunter Valley and Australia wide.

Tempus Two regularly hosts some of the most spectacular and largest outdoor concerts staged in Hunter Wine Country at the 10,000 seat, magnificently architected amphitheatre. These events feature a number of the world’s best known performers and are much more than just a concert. Coupled with the performance by the headline act is a range of dining options, from five star degustation dinners prepared by a number of the Hunter’s leading chefs, to outdoor food stalls operated by a number of restaurants from around the Hunter Valley.

Everything can be found on offer, from sushi to steak sandwiches and much more. Patrons can experience at Tempus Two, so much of what the Hunter has to offer. The day features performances by various support acts around the venue, extensive bars offering a range of wines, beer, soft drinks, espresso, cheeses, cakes and more. Tempus Two combines great wine, food and entertainment in a modern and comfortable facility; a realisation of two families united vision, to create a unique destination in Australia’s premier wine region, and to support Hunter Valley tourism.
