When Thomas Hardy purchased the Upper Tintara Vineyard in McLaren Vale in 1871, it heralded the foundation of one of Australia’s greatest winemaking dynasties. The original winery, later extended and improved by Hardy, was built by the legendary Dr A.C. Kelly in 1863, the slate mined at nearby Delabole quarry in the Willunga Hills.

”A superb example of aged McLaren Vale Shiraz that is still youthful and with a long future ahead. Superb purity of primary fruits including fruit pastilles and blackberries with chocolate, cocoa and liquorice highlights. The palate is dense, mouth filling and powerful with a core of mouthcoating tannins supporting robust dark fruits with attractive aged nuances starting to build in the form of caramel oak and dried spices. Balance is pinpoint with a long and strong finish. Best yet under this label and very special indeed.”
– Angus Hughson, Wine Pilot
