History shows that Thomas Hardy first blended grapes from multiple regions in 1865. Hardy believed that blending grapes with different characteristics would complement and enhance the qualities of each region, so began Hardy’s rich blending heritage” – Hardys Wines.

“Bin D671. Hand-picked, open-fermented, pressed via a 97yo basket press, the individual vineyard components (from McLaren Vale and Clare Valley) matured separately in French oak (25% new) for 16 months. Very skilled winemaking, particularly at the blending stage, results in a vinous have cake and eat it outcome. Allows the dark chocolate and plum flavours of McLaren Vale to show in wine, with particularly good texture and structure ex the Clare Valley portion. The result is a wine that is no more than medium-bodied. Drink by 2030.” – 95 points, James Halliday – Australian Wine Companion
