澳洲酒庄介绍： Hardy’s Oomoo, Adelaide Hills

酿酒师：Bill Hardy

很少有酿酒师能像Bill Hardy那样以拥有一个如此有历史记忆的著名家族名字而自豪，葡萄酒的事业不是一个个人的选择却是命运的安排。Bill毕业于阿德莱得大学，主修农业科学，之后进入波尔多大学学习葡萄酒。在Chateau Haut Brion酒庄完成1974年葡萄酒年份后，他回到了自己的家，开始为自己家族位于迈拉伦维尔产区历史悠久的酒庄酿造葡萄酒。

Bill目前是星座葡萄酒澳大利亚公司（美国葡萄酒集团，拥有哈迪品牌）的澳大利亚酒类学家/酿酒师，他是顶级葡萄酒的大使与教育者，这些顶级葡萄酒仍然拥有其家族神圣的名望。

THE WINEMAKER: Bill Hardy

Few winemakers can boast such an evocative and famous family name, so for Bill Hardy, a career in wine was not so much a personal choice as a fulfillment of destiny. Bill studied Agricultural Science at the University of Adelaide before entering the Diplome National d'Oenologue at the Université de Bordeaux, graduating dux of his year. After completing the 1974 vintage at Chateau Haut Brion he returned home to begin making wine at the family’s historic cellars in McLaren Vale. Bill is now the Australian oenologist for Constellation Australia, the US-based international owners of the Hardy’s brand, and his role sees him work as a front-line ambassador and educator for landmark wines that still bare the hallowed names of his immediate family.

THE WINERY: Hardy’s Oomoo, Adelaide Hills

Derived from the local Aboriginal word meaning "good", Oomoo was one of the first orginal wines released by Thomas Hardy back in the 1870's. To celebrate Hardys 150th Anniversary, Oomoo was revived as a classic label, and today, it showcases the premium regions of South Australia, faithfully reflecting the special personality of each variety and place. In this instance, Chardonnay is sourced from the Adelaide Hills, a cool and picturesque region nestling in the hills just outside of Adelaide, with a growing reputation for producing structured and elegant versions of this classic variety. The result is a wine that is faithful to the Hardy family tradition of matching variety with an appropriate sense of region and place.
