Hardys HRB Pinot Noir

Description

Hardys HRB Pinot Noir — South Australia, 13.5% ABV. Draws on cool-climate fruit — the Heritage Reserve Bin tier's commitment to regional sourcing is evident in the wine's precision and aromatic lift. The colour is a vibrant, bright crimson red. The nose is perfumed and expressive: sweet ripe strawberry, red cherry, and forest-floor earthiness combine with a floral lift for an unmistakably cool-climate profile. On the palate the wine is silky and complex — berry fruits carry through with a gentle, mid-weight structure, floral character, and a clean, bright finish. At 13.5% ABV it is the lightest of the HRB reds, making it exceptionally food-versatile across a broad range of preparations.

On-trade positioning: HRB Pinot Noir is positioned for any fine-dining or contemporary restaurant where the sommelier needs a credible, food-flexible premium red that works across a broad menu — from salmon and duck to mushroom-centred dishes. Its cool-climate character and lower alcohol make it the obvious pairing recommendation for operators with Asian-influenced menus where richer reds can overpower. The Heritage Reserve Bin credentials give it genuine mid-tier prestige while the Pinot variety itself opens the conversation with guests who want elegance over extraction. As a BTG option, HRB Pinot is a versatile upsell for tables ordered lighter mains — the sommelier can recommend it confidently across a wide range of proteins and preparations. It differentiates from Burgundy-sourced Pinots on price while drawing the same food-pairing associations.
