Today Coonawarra is, perhaps alongside Margaret River, Australia’s most famous cool-climate region for Cabernet Sauvignon. The grape varietal has found a home in the terra rossa soils of Coonawarra, producing rich, firmly structured red wines that are renowned around the world.
The Hardys 1853 range is a celebration of the birth of Hardys in the year 1853. Sourcing the best grapes from some of the most premium sites in Australia (Coonawarra, McLaren Vale, Frankland River, Clare Valley), this wine is structured and elegant with ripe red and black currants, blackberry, liquorice, choc mint, vanillin and coffee bean. A full flavoured wine with a fleshy sweet palate, great complexity and texture with fine tannins and a long finish.

This wine is a tribute to Thomas Hardy, one of Australia’s great wine pioneers, planting some of the earliest vines in the region dating back to the mid 1800’s. It combines the best regions for Cabernet Sauvignon, namely Coonawarra and Margaret River. Each region contributes its unique terroir to the final blend. Look forward to a rich tapestry of aromatics of sweet plum, mint & mulberry fruits with cloves & nutmeg spice adding interest. The palate is sensely flavoured, showing sweet bright fruits of dark plum and ripe berry beautifully integrated with subtle oak spice and sweetness. A truly spectacular wine of power and finesse.
