Hardys HRB Chardonnay
Description
Hardys HRB Chardonnay — South Australia, 13.5% ABV. Bright straw, aromatics that open on generous stone fruit, custardy richness, and savoury oak before the palate develops lime curd, blood orange, and complex nutty depth. Heritage Reserve Bin is Hardys' premium regional tier — fruit sourced from the best-performing parcels of each vintage and oak-aged to integrate rather than dominate, producing a Chardonnay with genuine structure alongside its fruit weight.
On-trade positioning: HRB sits above The Riddle as Hardys' premium regional tier, and the provenance narrative — Heritage Reserve Bin, best-parcel regional sourcing — gives the floor team a genuine BTG story to carry beyond "reliable Australian Chardonnay." Fine dining restaurants, hotel F&B, and premium club venues are the right fit: environments where the white wine glass is a considered purchase and where a winemaker's note or regional story justifies a mid-premium price point. The citrus-curd richness and savoury oak integration pairs well with grilled seafood, butter-sauce courses, and white meat, supporting the sommelier's food-matching conversation. For buyers already listing The Riddle, HRB is the clean range extension — same supplier, stronger credential, better margin per glass.
