Description
Thomas Hardy’s pioneering spirit and passion for winemaking spans five generations and is at the heart of our outstanding range of Hardys Wines. History shows that Thomas Hardy first blended grapes from multiple regions in 1865. He believed that by doing so it would complement and enhance the qualities of each region. So began Hardys blending heritage, with each new blend a unique code was created starting from A001. Produced using 95-year-old basket presses to retain softness and fruit intensity, HRB Bin D662 Shiraz demonstrates the power of cross-regional blending. Each region brings its own unique aspect to the final wine, ensuring the sum of the parts far outweigh the individual parcels. McLaren Vale is the powerhouse of the blend adding richness with a chocolate and black fruit core. Frankland River adds vibrancy and blueberry fruit notes. Finally, Clare Valley adds complexity to the aroma and palate with violets, pepper and spice, stencilled by toasted vanillin oak to a long, fine finish.
