In 1876 Thomas Hardy recognised the potential that lay within the rich loamy soils of McLaren Vale and purchased the Tintara Winery & Vineyard from a Dr. Kelly. Two years later the Mortlock Flour Mill was converted into the present winery. This facility stands proud as one of Australia’s pre-eminent winemaking facilities, consistently producing award-winning wines of outstanding character and complexity. Brick red with purple hues, this highly fragrant bouquet shows musk, red liquorice, star anise and blackberry fruit characters. A rich and textured palate has been created, with bright fruit characters of strawberries and violets with underlying musk. The vibrant fruit characters on the palate are supported by elegant, savoury tannins which lead into a long, refined finish. Tintara wines are aimed to be the purest expression of what the McLaren Vale wine region can produce. An historic area best known for Shiraz and Grenache. This fruit when combined with small batch open fermenters and basket pressing along with the use of specific French coopers matched to each vineyard, results in individual wines with great depth and style.
