2017 HRB Riesling , Hardys
Clare Valley and Tasmania, Australia
Hardys – you may have thought that they only produce those cheap supermarket wines but they also produce some of Australia’s best premium wines. HRB wines also known as Heritage Reserve Bin are exceptional multi-regional wines that offer incredible value and we urge you to try them!
BinD674, otherwise known as the 2017 HRB Riesling, is made from fruit sourced from the Clare Valley and Tasmania. Brilliant water-like colour with a slight tinge of green around the outskirts. Elevated lime juice and orange rind aromas interplay with citrusy talc-like characters, green apple and steely mineral notes. Unfolding across the palate are intense lime and citrus flavours backed by a steely mineral-infused core. Subtle orange rind and crunchy green apple elements are also apparent. Exceptional power, finishing dry with crisp mouth-watering acidity and a long aftertaste.
HRB – Heritage Reserve Bin wines push the boundaries of winemaking through the cross-regional blending of hand-selected grapes. The distinct characteristics of the grapes from each region are considered and selected to complement and enhance each other. Only the premier Australian regions for each varietal are considered for inclusion in each vintage. The result is a complex, unique expression of the varietal, that retains the finest character of each terroir. The HRB range continues to evolve to provide the very best multi-regional, varietal wine from each vintage.

"Bin D674. A harmonious blend from the Clare Valley and Tasmania. It steals the best from each – the lime-lemon juice and zest of the Clare matched with the mineral thread of acidity and depth of flavour from Tasmania, and rolls them into a synergistic whole. Pure, precise and pristine, with great length."
