<p>In 2004, the Castelli family purchased a 120-acre farm overlooking Wilson&rsquo;s Inlet, Mt. Lindesay and the lush countryside around Denmark.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sourcing fruit from across the WA, Castelli Estate has steadily (but not slowly) built a reputation for quality and value. Their flagship Il Liris Chardonnay and the red blend of Cabernet, Shiraz and Malbec deliver the same value even at a higher price point. It&rsquo;s the reliability of value that drives wine lovers to explore their ever-expanding portfolio.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ox Hardy is the label of Andrew Hardy, known by the nickname Ox since his schooldays. He is also the great-great-grandson of Thomas Hardy, who founded the Hardy family wine dynasty in 1853. The flagship Upper Tintara Vineyard, at Blewitt Springs in McLaren Vale, South Australia, remains Hardy-family-owned. Andrew (with his late father Bob Hardy) began winemaking trials in 2001 and released the first Ox Hardy wines in 2019 to great acclaim.</p>
