Hand Crafted by Geoff Hardy Shiraz McLaren Vale
Concentrated flavours with soft sweet fruits, it is supple and very approachable. Shiraz grapes were sourced from subregions of McLaren Vale, Blewitt Springs, McLaren Flat and Seaview.
Hand Crafted by Geoff Hardy Lagrein Limestone Coast/Adelaide Hills
Dense, almost black in colour, it has lots of ripe sweet fruits on the nose with blueberries and blackberries mingling with notes of sweet pipe tobacco. Black fruits follow onto the palate with sour blackcurrant and some rasping tannin. 90% of grapes were grown at Wirrega Vineyards in Limestone Coast giving opulent mid palate fruits. The balance grown in the Adelaide Hills was fermented separately uisng 15% whole clusters.
Hand Crafted by Geoff Hardy Durif Adelaide Hills
An interesting bouquet of raisins, Christmas cake, nutmeg and lavender. It is medium bodied with a tart acidity, sour blackcurrant and blackberry flavours. Durif (a.k.a. Petite Sirah) is a late-ripening variety more frequently used in Australia to produce fortified wine in Rutherglen in Victoria. Autumn conditions in southern Adelaide Hills allow the grapes to fully ripen, and Shane believes this to be the only planting of Durif in the region.
