Accolade Wines has released a range of four rare fortified wines from the Hardys label in travel retail.
The limited edition Hardys Rare Fortified range was showcased at this year’s TFWA Asia Pacific exhibition in Singapore.
The range includes Hardys Rare Show Sweet White (150 bottles produced), Hardys Rare Liqueur Sauvignon Blanc (346 bottles), Hardys Rare Tawny (864 bottles), and Hardys Rare Muscat (784 bottles).
Accolade Wines Commercial Director Rupert Firbank said: “These are wines that we have not bought to travel retail in the past but which we feel there is a market for. When we present them at special Hardys events people always rave about them and ask where they can buy them – now they can!
“The range received extremely positive feedback during TFWA AP, so we are excited to see what listings will be achieved.”
Accolade Wines Chief Winemaker AU Paul Lapsley added: “The awesome foursome not only showcases the wonderful reserves of aged fortified wines we have, but also the commitment from everyone in a truly collaborative team effort.
“Hardys has made magnificent, unique and innovative fortifieds for over 100 years, from vintage ports to sherries, and this release adds to that wonderful history. The combination of blending aged wines with younger fresher material has resulted in this group of complex wines with a kaleidoscope of flavours which are very luscious and very moreish.”
Accolade Wines’ portfolio offers a range of New World Wines, including Mud House, Da Luca, Grant Burge, Viña Anakena, Arras and Geyser Peak.
