Eileen Hardy OBE, is fondly remembered as the matriarch of Australia's best known winemaking family. Today she is immortalised by the annual release of one Australia's great red wines, the Eileen Hardy Shiraz which was released in 1973 in honour of 'Auntie Eileen's' 80th birthday. Eileen Hardy, the wine, had been born, and like the lady herself it is quite extraordinary. - Notes sourced from Hardys.
-
'Contemporary and concentrated Australian shiraz with all the bells and whistles, based around some very smart and aromatic American oak and superbly flavoured and defined fruit. Brooding, dark and spicy, its ripe plummy fruit is accented with mint, flowers, cassis and a hint of eucalypt. Sumptuous, soft and supple, richly textured, firm and astringent, it finally departs with a taste of dark Swiss chocolate and wild berries.' Rating 95 - Jeremy Oliver
