Critic reviews
Critic reviews
The Wine Front – "Sourced from two sites in the Adelaide Hills and shaped by Hardy’s long association with the region. Green melon and white peach, green almond and beeswax. Gently fleshy, a chardonnay unafraid of flavour but with none of the blowsy excess of days gone by. Impeccable balance, genuine class." 90 points. Nick Ryan. The Weekend Australian.

Ox Hardy Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2022
The Ox Hardy Chardonnay is from two mature vineyards in the Adelaide Hills, one just west of the Oakbank racecourse, the other in the shadows of Mt. Torrens. The fruit was selectively machine picked in late March, the juice then fermented in older French oak barriques and hogsheads, and 20% in stainless steel. Malo-lactic fermentation was induced in both barrel and tank.

Adelaide Hills
The Adelaide Hills is one of the largest geographical wine regions in Australia, and amongst the most diverse in terms of climate, soil and topography. Because of this, many different varietals are planted here with the most dominant being Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. It is generally thought of as a cooler region, especially when compared to neighbouring Barossa to the north and Mclaren vale and Langhorne Creek to the south.
NZ Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc has been popular in Australia for a while now, but Adelaide hills Sauvignon Blanc (the most planted grape in the region) could be considered the Aussie Savvy Blanc. From www.adelaidehillswine.com.au about their Sauvignon Blanc: “Wines that are textured, edgy, vibrant and dry with exceptional fruit definition, length and crispness that marry superbly with summer seafood.”
You can also find some cool climate shiraz from the Adelaide hills, defying the more common big bold style that is usually seen in Australian Shiraz.
