Hardys Tintara Core Cabernet Sauvignon
Description
Hardys Tintara Core Cabernet Sauvignon — McLaren Vale, South Australia, 14% ABV. Pours a bright garnet with a lively purple hue. The bouquet is intense and structured: blackberry, blackcurrant and smoky tea-leaf mingle with bay leaf and aniseed, while hints of mocha and toasted oak add depth. On the palate, dark fruit is carried by a firm yet polished tannin structure, with mocha and vanilla complexity on the long, persistent finish.
On-trade positioning: the Tintara Cabernet is the structured, food-forward counterpart to the richer Tintara Shiraz on the same list — a natural choice for venues serving lamb, beef or game. Its McLaren Vale estate provenance and the Tintara name give floor staff a compelling upsell narrative for guests moving up from everyday Australian Cabernet. Position alongside the Tintara Shiraz in the premium-by-the-glass tier for a credible two-variety McLaren Vale estate set.
