✨ Technical Specifications
The Stamp of Australia range by Hardys is inspired by the pioneering spirit of founder Thomas Hardy and was designed to showcase the rich blending heritage of South Australian viticulture to the global market. Historically featuring an Australian postage stamp on the label, it serves as a liquid postcard representing the warmth and richness of the region's vineyards. This Shiraz - Cabernet Sauvignon blend is a quintessential Australian classic, combining the fleshy plum and soft spice of Shiraz with the structured blackcurrant notes and fine tannins of Cabernet Sauvignon. Sourced from prime vineyards across South Australia, the fruit is carefully fermented with light oak contact to preserve its vibrant, juicy primary fruit character, resulting in an approachable, easy-drinking style that has introduced generations of wine lovers to the friendly character of Australian wine.
