When Thomas Hardy purchased the Upper Tintara Vineyard in McLaren Vale in 1871, it heralded the foundation of one of Australia’s greatest winemaking dynasties. Today the picturesque 115 Ha property is still owned by the Hardy family, and consists of native protected scrub and approximately 45 Ha of vines, including millennium Shiraz plantings which are the fruit source of this wine.
Deep crimson-purple; a full-bodied shiraz that shows no inclination to pull its considerable punches. It goes without saying tannins are in the mix, but it's the black fruits, licorice, spice, bitter chocolate flavours framed by quality oak that do the heavy lifting. The most remarkable quality is the way it leaves the mouth fresh.
