Hardy Wines command an impressive array of viticultural assets throughout Australia from which to allocate the right fruit for each unique winestyle. Hardys have developed vineyards that are highly specialized to yield grapes exclusively trained and husbanded for a non preservative wine. Focusing on ripe and healthy, highly flavoured Cabernet fruit grown to the sultry microclimes of Riverland and the Riverina, Hardys have fashioned a scrumptuous wine without the use of any additives, purely for the purpose of enjoying good Australian Cabernet without additives.
A highly flavoursome and aromatic Cabernet, styled to express the soft ripe fruit flavours typical of healthy fruit. Vineyards in the vicinity of the winery are machine harvested in the cool of the night to reduce the risk of oxidation. The overriding principle throughout the vinification is at all stages to minimise the handling of the fruit and wine. Hardys selects grapes for their No Added Preservatives range which are at the riper end of the spectrum, to reduce handling and to retain the natural fruit balance and acidity. This allows Hardys to use all the modern viticultural methods available to produce a vibrant Cabernet wine, that's deeply favourful, forward drinking and easy to enjoy.
TASTING NOTES
Ruby colour. Lively bouquets of blackerry and currant, hints of mint and of cassis, spices and sweet clove. The palate is fresh and well structured showing heaps of blackcurrant fruit, hints of vanilla with cocoa, cigar box and earth. A fresh fruit driven wine created for pure drinking pleasure, enjoy with meat or vegetarian casseroles, pastas and grills or ripe, tasty cheese.

About Hardys Wines
Thomas Hardy left Devon in 1850 at the age of 20 and migrated to the new colony of South Australia
He established a winery on the banks of Adelaide's River Torrens in 1853. His Bankside winery was the start of an outstanding family wine business that grew to become one of the world's great wine companies. Thomas Hardy was a self-made man, a pioneer of immense character. With a mixture of energy, determination, shrewd judgment, innovation and a touch of daring, he pursued the highest standards in winemaking. At Bankside, and later at his McLaren Vale property Tintara, he focused on quality and craftsmanship. Tintara was to become the centre of Hardy's enterprise and by the late 1800s was one of the best-equipped and managed wineries in Australia. This success was substantially due to Hardy's initiatives in planting higher quality, lower yielding varieties rather than the coarser, heavier-yielding types more common at the time. His willingness to experiment with and to use novel equipment, much of which he designed and built himself, also contributed to this success. Hardys»
