A new 92pt McLaren Vale Shiraz offer from Halliday 5 star brand and small, family vigneron, Bec Hardy.
Wine writer Ken Gargett says: "If 2019 was somewhat underrated, 2021 has been hyped to the heavens. The test is whether or not the wines live up to that adulation. This one? Absolutely. Young and fresh, for sure, but that is not a crime. A fine South Aussie red from a superb vintage, this delivers all you’d hope and represents excellent value while doing so. Quite powerful and with an impression of coiled persuasion, we have notes of mulberries, spices, cassis, plums, dry vegetation (a hint of tree bark) and enough chocolate to make Willy Wonka happy. Slightly broad on the palate, there is a gentle fade with a clean finish and satiny tannins. Will drink well for five to six years, longer if you wish. Great buying. 92points"
Vintage: Great winter rainfall during 2020 ensured the vines were off to a fantastic start for the 2021 vintage. The weather during flowering was mild and not too windy, which lead to great fruit set. There was a major rain event in February, but the dry weather following this ensured disease didn’t become a problem. The weather stayed mild and dry throughout harvest, the yields were higher than the past few years and the quality was fantastic.
Vineyards: Fruit is sourced from three of our grower vinyards. The Klavenik Vineyard, The Conte Vineyard and Lower Tintara Vineyard all in McLaren Vale.
Story: The quintessential Australian red, this Pertaringa Shiraz offers everything that has made this variety famous down under.
Nose: The nose displays notes of plums, pepper and a hint of dark cherries.
Palate: The palate is elegant with great flavours of plums, cherries and black pepper, finishing delightfully smooth and lingering.
Food Pairings: A beautifully versatile food wine, this wine will go just as well with a summer barbeque as it would with a hearty beef stew in winter.
Cellaring: Drink now to 2029.

Seems to imply its part of the famous Hardy wine family
Is this correct?
