Tasting Note

A medium to full bodied wine with vibrant fruits of the forest aromas and wafts of coconut and vanilla. Gorgeous blackberry and blackcurrant fruit on the palate are layered with cacao and vanilla biscuit flavours. Tannins are not intrusive and compliment the forest fruit in the finish.

Producer

Hardys is one of Australia’s oldest wineries, founded over 165 years ago. Thomas Hardy helped forge the Australian wine industry and was a true pioneer, entrepreneur and visionary. Today the winemakers continue to uphold the Hardys passion for viticulture and winemaking, crafting quality wines for consumers to enjoy across the globe.

Winemaking

Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are grown in the Riverland region which has a climate well suited for growing vines. Warm summer days and plenty of sunshine allow ripe fruit flavours and sugars to develop. Hardly any intervention takes place in the winery so the typical varietal characteristics of Cabernet Sauvignon are amplified under the watchful eye of winemaker Paul Burnett.

Fun Fact

VR stands for “Varietal Range”; easy drinking wines full of varietal flavour.

Hardys is one of the most awarded wineries in Australia with over 9000 medals awarded during the winery’s long successful history

Food pairing

Ideal for barbeques, especially grilled steaks and burgers. Lighter dishes like charcuterie platters also work well.
