Hardys Eileen Hardy Pinot Noir, Tasmania

Eileen Hardy Pinot Noir pays tribute to the matriarch of the Hardy family, representing the pinnacle of the house's cool-climate winemaking. Sourced from exceptional hand-picked parcels across Tasmania's premier sub-regions, predominantly the Derwent and Tamar Valleys, this flagship red captures the crisp purity, structural precision, and natural intensity that define the island's world-class terroir.

In the cellar, whole-bunch inclusion adds structural spice and complexity, while gentle open-top fermentation retains bright primary fruit characteristics. The wine matures in French oak puncheons, with a small proportion new, allowing the delicate Pinot Noir fruit to integrate seamlessly with soft, framing tannins without being overwhelmed by wood.

The nose opens with wild strawberry, dark cherry, and clove, underscored by subtle earthy complexity. On the palate, expect vibrant red berries, fine-grained tannins, and persistent, refreshing acidity that ensures outstanding cellar longevity.
