In 1865 Thomas Hardy had the foresight to begin blending grapes from different regions, believing that the blending would enhance the different qualities of the grapes. His vision proved to be right and it has since become the inspiration for the Heritage Reserve Bin (HRB) range.
Eileen Hardy Pinot Noir is only made in exceptional vintages and receives the best parcels of fruit. Sourced from individual vineyards in three distict regions of Tasmania, the 2021 vintage captures the ethereal aromatics qualities and refreshing savoury mid-palate texture of a great Pinot Noir.

Deep-ish red-purple, an excellent pinot noir colour, while the bouquet is reserved and dark-cherried, shy and a tad undeveloped but promising more. It's the same in the mouth, quite robust black cherry and spice with a touch of oak, the finish firm and solid with liberal tannin, good density and weight. It needs a year, and has the makings of an excellent bottle of pinot. Drink: 2023 to 2033; Alcohol: 13%; Rating: 95 Points; Huon Hooke; The Real Review
Glowing purple, aromas of smoked meats, maraschino cherries and freshly-turned earth lure you in. Round and fluid, a sense of charry oak lend a savoury hand against the core of ripe red and black berries. Subtle aromas of rosemary and mulch emerge. The acidity is cleansing and the tannins are fine and framing. This offers complexity and vibrancy, with age it will develop layers and character. It reverberates across the palate, a nod towards its excellent Tassie fruit source. Drink: 2024 to 2032; Alcohol: 13%; Rating: 95 Points; Gabrielle Poy; The Real Review
