Canny blending of rich fruit parcels from different regions across Australia built the historical reputation of Hardys Wines. This hallmark continues in the latest release of the Hardys Icon 2021 collection.
The 2019 Eileen Hardy Chardonnay, 2018 Eileen Hardy Shiraz and 2017 Thomas Hardy Cabernet Sauvignon, all available from 7 October, show that chief winemaker Nigel Sneyd MW is upholding longstanding Hardys traditions.
