Shiraz

2012 South Eastern Australia Syrah

Hardys Shiraz, a captivating expression of Syrah from the renowned South Eastern Australia region, showcases a deep red color that entices from the first glance. This vintage, hailing from 2012, offers a medium-bodied wine with a satisfying balance of high acidity, giving it a bright and mouthwatering profile. The fruit intensity is prominently showcased through vivid notes of dark fruits, such as blackberry and plum, complemented by subtle hints of spice and chocolate. The tannins are notable yet smooth, providing structure without overwhelming the palate. As a wine that is dry, it ensures a refreshing finish that invites another sip, making it perfect for various food pairings or solo enjoyment.

Many of Australia's best wines are made here. From the stunning Shiraz produced around Adelaide to the luscious Sémillons of the Hunter Valley, and from the fragrant Pinot Noirs of Tasmania to the lush Chardonnay of Riverina, nearly every grape variety and wine style flourishes in South Eastern Australia, basking in the sun-kissed Mediterranean climate and rich, varied soils.
