A powerful yet elegant and refined style showing sweet bright fruits of dark plum and ripe berry, beautifully integrated with subtle oak spice. Fine lingering tannin structure gives this wine great balance and persistence of flavour.

In 1850 our founding father Thomas Hardy arrived in South Australia bringing with him a spirit of adventure and pioneering determination. His singular vision for exceptional wine saw him emerge as one of the industry's most influential sons, and to this day, his inspiration and vision stand as the hallmarks of Hardys wines and this wine is made in his honour. An excellent vintage for Coonawarra, 2014 was considered one of the longest. This Cabernet Sauvignon has benefited from the cool slow ripening mid to late February weather, producing a powerful yet elegant and refined style. Showing sweet bright fruits of dark plum and ripe berry beautifully integrated with subtle oak spices, the fine, lingering tannin structure gives the wine great balance and a long persistent finish.
