Oak absorbed and hidden

with a unique freshness and intensity of perfectly ripe aromas

The fruit was hand-picked and fermented in open slate fermenters for 6-7 days before the wine was transferred to 100% American oak (20% new) for two years

2016 Hardy's Eileen Hardy Shiraz 750ml Veneto Drink by 2029Aged for 17 months in new French oak, this old vine cuve wears its oak influence proudly. Its rich, flamboyant, and polished, with firm, cedary tannins. This wine needs time for its layers of violet, boysenberry, kirsch, black olive, anise, and cracked pepper to meld and balance, gradually flowing over the oaky structure rather than being overshadowed by it.
