Hardys 165th Anniversary Cabernet Shiraz is a celebratory Australian red blend that combines Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure with Shiraz’s plush fruit. It offers a medium- to full-bodied profile with dark berry flavors and subtle spice, finished with integrated oak. A versatile, food-friendly wine that pairs well with grilled meats, charcuterie, and hearty pasta dishes.
