Hardys Tintara McLaren Vale Shiraz 2013

You just know what you’re going to get with these Tintara reds.

Dark purple red, this is old school McLaren Vale to the core. Sweet vanilla bean oak, a sweet berry mid palate and thick oak tannins. Perhaps a little sweet, but the combination of juicy fruit, gently generous oak and soft (added) tannins is a treat.

Easy recommendation, but wait until it goes on special.

About me – Andrew Graham

At 18 I started working in a small suburban bottleshop, largely to buy cheap beer. It was my first year of university, doing a degree that I didn't really like, and a liquor shop seemed like fun. Needless to say I discovered wine, my uni degree morphed into something completely different and wine/beer took over my life.

Almost twenty years later and I currently spend my days wearing many (wine) hats, mostly as a writer, presenter and marketer.

While wearing my writer cap I write features for the likes of National Liquor News, Gourmet Traveller WINE and the RAS plus I'm a Lifestyle FOOD channel wine expert. Read more about me here or get in touch to book your next wine event with me here.
