About Hardys
Hardys is the undisputed number one Australian wine brand in the UK, maintaining this position for over a decade with sales exceeding competitors by more than £100 million. With approximately 300,000 bottles sold worldwide every day, Hardys has become synonymous with accessible, quality Australian wine. The story began in 1854 when Thomas Hardy planted the first vines in McLaren Vale, South Australia. An influential figure in the Australian wine industry, Hardy was one of the first to export Australian wine, sending two hogsheads back to his native England in 1859. This export tradition continues today through parent company Accolade Wines. The range spans accessible everyday wines to premium selections. Hardys VR offers excellent entry-level drinking at around £5, while Nottage Hill provides reliable mid-range quality. The Stamp collection delivers classic varietal character, and at the top, Eileen Hardy represents the brand's premium flagship wines. Hardys focuses on Australia's signature grape varieties including Shiraz (the country's flagship red), Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay. Whether you prefer bold reds or crisp whites, the range covers all major styles that have made Australian wine globally popular. Available in every major UK supermarket including Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Morrisons, and Waitrose, Hardys offers the reliability and consistency that has earned it "certainty in uncertain times" - a brand promise backed by a 100% money-back guarantee.
