Hardys HRB Shiraz

Description

Hardys HRB Shiraz — South Australia, 14% ABV. Deep garnet with a purple hue, the palate building through plum, mulberry, dark cherry, and aniseed into a bramble fruit and milk chocolate core, finishing with warming spice and dried herbs. Heritage Reserve Bin is Hardys' premium regional tier — sourced from the best Australian Shiraz parcels of the vintage, with the depth and structure to hold a fine dining listing alongside considerably more expensive bottles.

On-trade positioning: The HRB Shiraz is the serious Hardys red listing — The Riddle for operators who need everyday volume, HRB for those who want a fine dining or hotel F&B credential alongside it. It provides the BTG red that holds its own on a competitive wine list in premium casual and fine dining without requiring an Australian icon label or icon pricing. The dark fruit intensity, chocolate richness, and spice complexity make it a natural pairing for beef, lamb, and umami-driven Asian red meat dishes — particularly relevant for steakhouse, contemporary Asian, and modern European menus. For buyers already listing The Riddle Shiraz, HRB is the straightforward step-up: same supplier, stronger story, and a higher margin-per-glass that the premium BTG price point supports.
