Founded by pioneer Thomas Hardy in 1876, Hardys Tintara is nestled in the heart of McLaren Vale, South Australia. Tintara skilfully embraces the best of new-age winemaking while still retaining and using much of the original equipment and winemaking methods of the past. The Hardys Tintara Reserve range is made from premium fruit sourced from vineyards in the best sub-regions of McLaren Vale South Australia. These wines have been hand crafted, enhancing their fine quality, intensity and true varietal expression. They owe much to the past, but their appeal belongs exclusively to today. Tintara wines are aimed to be the purest expression of what the McLaren Vale wine region can produce. An historic area best known for Shiraz and Grenache. This fruit when combined with ancient small batch concrete open fermenters and basket pressing along with the use of specific French coopers matched to each vineyard, results in individual wines with great depth and style. Deep red with purple hues, the Tintara Shiraz shows a rich concentration of black cherry and blueberry with chocolate and cinnamon aromas. This richly textured, elegant wine is full bodied, and shows ripe concentrated fruit flavours of black fruit, dark chocolate with an earthy/spicy complexity. The palate has firm but evenly distributed spice and tannin, and the rolling concentrated mouthful leads to a bright and persistent finish.

The Stamp of Australia Riesling Gewurztraminer is pale straw in colour and displays fresh zesty citrus, spice and floral aromas. On the palate sweet tropical and citrus fruit flavours are backed with spice and zesty acid finish. Winemaker’s Notes: Stamp Riesling Gewurztraminer has been blended from selected batches of Riesling and Traminer grapes night harvested at moderate ripeness to achieve the desired fruit flavours. Selected parcels of fruit were then fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks to retain varietal fruit freshness. Inter-regional blending has produced a wine with an ideal balance of the lime/citrus flavours of the Riesling and the fresh spiciness of the Traminer. (12 x 75 cl)

Crafted from McLaren Vale,Coonawarra and Adelaide Hills fruit. Time honoured techniques of basket pressing and open fermentation have ensured depth of flavour and richness.

Fruit for this wine was carefully harvested in the cool of the night, so as to retain maximum varietal freshness of character. After crushing, the juice was transferred to stainless steel tanks where it was inoculated with selected yeast strains, which initiated a warm fermentation between 14-18 degrees Celsius. A light oak influence has added another dimension to this full flavoured wine.
