Five generations of Hardys have made wine their business, making them one of Australia’s iconic winemaking families. Impressive indeed.

Their William Hardy Chardonnay 2013 is an understated medium dry chardonnay. It is a pale straw colour and is restrained. Crisp and refreshing with notes of lemon zest and pear. It is flowery with overtones of vanilla. This Chardonnay is made from Padthaway and Riverland region grapes and is ripe and zesty, with peach and lemon flavours. There is a touch of oak but it is delicate. A very good chardonnay. Recommended.

Pair it with fish pie or chicken dishes.

This wine can be drunk now but will further improve if carefully stored for up to 1 year
