Collection: HARDYS

This 170+yo brand is part of the Accolade Wines group. The eponymous Eileen Hardy label is named for matriarch Eileen Hardy OBE; the inaugural Eileen Hardy Shiraz was released in ’73 in honour of her 80th birthday. In line with the enormous scale of production, grapes are sourced from around Australia. The cellar door houses a museum that traces the history of the brand through stories and old winemaking equipment. -JAMES HALLIDAY

The story of Hardys begins with the very man who gave us his name, Thomas Hardy. From the moment he arrived in Australia in 1850, his ingenuity, determination and hard work built a business that has lasted more than 160 years.
