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.

Notable Awards
96 points, Jane Faulkner for James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion "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."

In 1853, the Hardy Wine Company started with just one visionary man. Thomas Hardy was 20 when he sailed from the English port of Devon for the colony of South Australia in 1850 and only three years later, he purchased his Bankside property on the River Torrens in Adelaide where he established his first winery.
By the time of his death in 1912, he would be hailed as the father of the South Australian wine industry, having first realised the potential of the now world-renowned region of McLaren Vale and, through his Tintara winery, built his business into one of the nation’s largest winemakers.
Over 160 years, five generations have withstood two world wars, the Great Depression, the vagaries of a harsh climate and even personal tragedy, to create a brand recognised for delivering great Australian wines to the world.
History shows that Thomas Hardy first blended grapes from multiple regions in 1865. Thomas believed that blending grapes with different characteristics would complement and enhance the qualities of each in the final wine. So began Hardys’ rich blending heritage; with each new blend, a unique code was created starting from A001.
