Description:
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.

Description: Founded by pioneer Thomas Hardy in 1876, Hardys Tintara is nestled in the heart of McLarenVale, 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 range is made from premium fruit sourced from vineyards in the best wine regions of South Australia and these wines have been hand crafted, enhancing their fine quality, intensity and true varietal expression. Innovative and traditional winemaking techniques have produced a stylish Chardonnay wine, while the cool climate fruit was partially barrel fermented with lees contact in French oak and matured for 8 months in new and seasoned oak. Pale straw yellow in colour with youthful green tinges, the Tintara Cellars Chardonnay displays lifted pear and rockmelon notes complemented by hints of musk and spicy vanillin oak. The palate is light and fresh with delicate stone fruit characters that envelope a creamy middle palate. Softly spiced French oak character adds structure and balance to the wine. An elegant style with a smoothly textured palate and a long fresh finish.
