Juicy and sweet fruited with a palate full of ripe berry fruits, fine tannins, and subtle oak all combine to create a wine with balance, texture and mineral acid drive.
Vintage 2016 proved to be quite unique with high quality fruit being delivered to the winery with well above average yields, an outstanding Grenache year for McLaren Vale and provides a wonderful base to add Shiraz & Mataro.
Several of the vineyards we source Chardonnay from were planted for us at carefully selected sites, only fit for Eileen Hardy Chardonnay when at full maturity. The Eileen Hardy Chardonnay exemplifies this development and commitment to quality of the highest order. Richness, power and elegance that has placed Eileen Hardy Chardonnay amongst the finest Chardonnays in the country.
The 202 Main Road Sparkling Shiraz is a rich and luscious sparkling wine. Bright red fruit flavours and complex sweet oak on the nose are complemented by moderate sweetness on the palate, firm structural tannin and a soft and natural acid finish.
