Ox Hardy Wines Chardonnay 2022 (6 Bottles) Adelaide Hills

$176.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

The 2021 Ox Hardy Chardonnay is from two mature vineyards in the Adelaide Hills, one just west of the Oakbank racecourse, the other in the shadow of Mt. Torrens.

The fruit was selectively machine picked in late March, the juice then fermented in older French oak barriques and hogsheads, and 20% in stainless steel. Malo-lactic fermentation was induced in both barrel and tank.

The finished wine spent 10 months total in barrel before blending and bottling in early April 2022.

Description

The Ox Hardy range of wines represent a rare and precious combination of people, vineyard, history and winemaking provenance.

Andrew ‘Ox’ Hardy is one of Australia’s most respected winemakers and his family’s Upper Tintara Vineyard is one of Australia’s most important viticultural assets. The Vineyard’s last remaining 2.54ha block of 1891 Ancestor Vines, planted by Andrew’s great-great grandfather Thomas Hardy, are some of Australia’s oldest and most valuable. And Andrew’s library of wines made from the family’s vineyard over the past two decades, but cellared and hidden from the public until the first release in 2019, demonstrate the quality and age-worthiness of these special releases.

Each element of the Ox Hardy range of wines are precious in their own right, but the circumstances that have finally brought them together makes them a treasure of the Australian wine industry.
