Hi Huneybees,
Established in 1853 by Thomas Hardy, Hardys has been recognised as "The Most Powerful Australian Wine Brand" with over 2 million glasses of Hardys wines enjoyed daily in over 70 countries. It was with great pleasure that I got to a wine tasting session and tried the 3 wines (Sir James Vintage Pinot Noir Chardonnay, WIlliam Hardy Shiraz and William Hardy Chardonnay) that they are debuting in Singapore.
That night, the highlight has got to be the Sir James Vintage Pinot Noir Chardonnay. It was cleared within minutes after opening. It was exceptionally fruity and sweet, like dessert wine with bubbles, filled with rich nuances of lychee, butter sauteed mushroom and lanolin, it comes highly recommended and it is one of the premium wines that make Hardys the biggest-selling wine brand in the United Kingdom.
The William Hardy Shiraz and William Hardy Chardonnay are available at Cold Storage and Jason's at SGD 37 a bottle, but the Sir James Vintage Pinot Noir Chardonnay is not available yet. So, I'll stick to my Chardonnay for now, whilst waiting for my Sir James. Wonder will it be in time for my B'dae celebration???

The William Hardy range - William Hardy Shiraz and William Hardy Chardonnay was launched last year to recognize Bill Hardy's 40 years as a winemaker and brand ambassador with the business founded by his great-great grandfather, Thomas Hardy.
Out of the 2 wines, I preferred the Chardonnay. It had a tinge of sweet fruitiness in it and since I'm not a fan of spicy Shiraz, the Chardonnay was the better choice for me. The intense taste of white peach, stone fruit and lemon zest paired with the cheeses provided that night at the tasting, was the best combination to enjoy the fine wine.
