Grape variety: Shiraz
Region: McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Padthaway and Frankland River
Tasting notes: Highly complex aromas of allspice, dark chocolate and fresh blueberries sit in harmonious balance with subtle French oak and silky fine tannins delivering a powerful wine of great persistence and length.
Since the 1995 vintage, the wine has progressively moved to being matured for approximately 18 to 20 months in 100% French oak. This is a very opulent perfumed wine with gamey blackberry/liquorice intensity, well integrated new oak and fine pronounced tannins. This "living breathing beast" reflects a strong house winemaking ethos and exceptional vineyard resources.
The Hardys Eileen Hardy was first released in 1970. The early vintages were made from Cabernet Sauvignon, but now it is exclusively made from the best parcels of dry grown Shiraz fruit sourced principally from McLaren Vale but also from Clare Valley, Padthaway and Frankland River in Western Australia. Fermentation takes place in small open concrete fermenters which allow the winemaker to bring out the natural fruit characters of Shiraz.
