The Nottage Hill range pays tribute to Thomas Hardy Nottage, a nephew of the founder Thomas Hardy, who dedicated 66 years of his life to working at the historic Tintara Winery. Launched in 1967, this range has become a cornerstone of Hardys' global reputation for consistency and value. The Cabernet Shiraz is a quintessential Australian blend, sourcing fruit from prime vineyards across South Eastern Australia. It is crafted to showcase the structured, blackcurrant character of Cabernet Sauvignon seamlessly married to the plush, spicy plum notes of Shiraz. Vinified in modern stainless steel with careful oak contact, it delivers an approachable, full-bodied profile with soft, rounded tannins and a vibrant fruit-forward finish.
