Our Review
This 170+yo brand is part of the Accolade Wines group. The eponymous Eileen Hardy label is named for matriarch Eileen Hardy OBE; the inaugural Eileen Hardy Shiraz was released in ’73 in honour of her 80th birthday. In line with the enormous scale of production, grapes are sourced from around Australia. The cellar door houses a museum that traces the history of the brand through stories and old winemaking equipment. -JAMES HALLIDAY
