Winemaker’s Notes

Colour

Pale straw, with green hues

Bouquet

Lime skin, lemongrass, Granny smith apple and hints of hazelnut and spice.

Palate

Lime juice and apple flavours lengthen to bright Mayer lemon mid palate and subtle nuances of oak spice.

The Hardys Tintara T-Series celebrates the diversity of alternative varietals that have continued to evolve and develop in the McLaren Vale region. Utilising classic Mediterranean varietals that are well suited to the region, the Hardys Tintara winemakers are continually experimenting to get the very best out of these new styles that are perfect for the Australian lifestyle and cuisine. 

Vintage

2017 provided some cool relief from the trend towards hot, dry long summers with cool conditions and plentiful rains, pushing well into summer. This gave vines ample time to ripen and develop flavour before sugar accumulated to high levels. Harvest was squeezed between rain events and hand harvesting allowed fresh flavours to be retained in fine juice. A great year for whites for those with well managed vineyards
