Thomas Hardy Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Thomas Hardy was a true pioneer. He recognised that different areas boasted unique qualities and characteristics that could complement and enhance one another.

It makes a fabulous gift as it will continue to improve for the next two decades, waiting patiently for that perfect steak night…
