Hardys VR Cabernet Sauvignon
Description
Hardys VR Cabernet Sauvignon — Riverland, South Australia, 13% ABV. Crimson in colour with aromas of forest fruit, coconut, and vanilla. The palate is soft and generous — medium-to-full body, blackberry and blackcurrant at the core, underpinned by chocolate and vanilla biscuit oak. Fine cocoa tannins on the finish keep it smooth and food-friendly. The entry-level tier in the Hardys range, built on 170+ years of Australian winemaking.
On-trade positioning: The volume workhorse — the most accessible price point in the Hardys range without sacrificing recognisable varietal character. Well-suited as a house-pour Cabernet in pubs, casual dining, and high-volume venues where cost-in-glass is the primary driver. The Hardys name carries credibility that lesser-known entry-level labels cannot match, making it easier for floor staff to recommend with confidence. Step guests up to The Riddle Cabernet Merlot when they want more complexity.
