✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hardys Crest Chardonnay is a testament to the pioneering spirit of Thomas Hardy, who established the historic estate in 1853 and helped shape the landscape of Australian viticulture. Bearing the family crest as a mark of quality, this wine is crafted using the estate's long-standing tradition of multi-regional blending across South Eastern Australia. This approach allows winemakers to select the finest parcels of fruit to achieve a consistent, harmonious style year after year. The wine is typically fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel to preserve its bright, primary fruit characters, with a portion undergoing subtle oak maturation to introduce delicate notes of vanilla and spice, resulting in a beautifully balanced, approachable white wine with a soft, rounded finish.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Hardys blev grundlagt i 1853 af den engelske pioner Thomas Hardy og er et af Australiens mest historiske og traditionsrige vinhuse med dybe rødder i McLaren Vale i South Australia. Gennem fem generationer har vinhuset mestret kunsten at blende på tværs af regioner og samtidig fremhævet de fineste terroirs i South Australia i en alsidig portefølje. Drevet af Thomas Hardys oprindelige vision om at skabe vine, der værdsættes verden over, forener vinhuset i dag tilgængelig innovation med klassisk prestige. Hardys er verdenskendt for sine stilskabende vine – lige fra ukomplicerede hverdagsvine til ikoniske, lagringsværdige aftapninger som flagskibene Eileen Hardy Shiraz og Thomas Hardy Cabernet Sauvignon.
