In 1853, the Hardy Wine Company was founded by a visionary man: Thomas Hardys. When he died in 1912, he was considered the father of the South Australian wine industry. 160 years later, five generations have withstood two world wars and the vagaries of a harsh climate to create a recognized brand of great Australian wines. William “Bill” Hardy worked for Hardys for over 40 years. Passionate, avant-garde and recognized for his dedication, a range has been created in his image.
