History shows that Thomas Hardy first blended grapes from multiple regions in 1865. Thomas believed that blending grapes with different characteristics would complement and enhance the qualities of each region. So began Hardy’s rich blending heritage; with each new blend a unique code was created starting from A001 and labelled Heritage Reserve Bin or HRB. For this vintage of HRB Chardonnay, fruit was sourced from premium vineyards in Yarra Valley, Margaret River, Pemberton, Tumbarumba and Adelaide Hills.
