  Hi OP, how does this wine compared to the McLaren Vale Merlot, Shiraz, Cabernet 2024 (6 Bottles)? Cheers

  • 

    EmployeeRD ADL @ Bec Hardy Wines on 16/05/2026 - 12:03

    @Alwaysagooner This one’s a straight Shiraz, so it’s a bit more focused and consistent - mainly dark fruit, some spice and a bit more depth.
    The Merlot/Shiraz/Cab blend is softer and a bit lighter on its feet, more about easy drinking than structure. Hope that helps :-)

    @ReallyLost Supermarket wines at that kind of price point are built for volume and consistency. This is a single‑region McLaren Vale Shiraz made from our growers vineyards, with more depth, structure and oak influence, so it sits a bit above that everyday drinking tier. Hope that helps. Cheers! Richard. :-)

  Got the rose last time and it was nearly undrinkable - overly acidic and flavourless, like a cheap riesling. Worse than a $6 bottle of bulloak, it was that bad. I now use it for cooking wine. Would not recommend any winery that is comfortable selling that, let alone for $12 a bottle.

    @Charmoffensive Sorry to hear that - appreciate the feedback. Single‑vineyard Grenache Rosé can be quite style‑driven - it is a savoury, lighter, fresher, style - and doesn’t suit everyone, especially if you’re expecting something a bit fuller and/or sweeter. Please feel free to DM me or email me at hello@bechardy.com.au Cheers! Richard :-)

      Honestly richard, what would you like me to put in the DM that I didn't already say in my post? This wasn't a matter me not liking the style/variety and you can't keep using "fresh and light" as a way to hand waive "overly acidic and watery, like diluted apple cider vinegar". I took a chance and ordered a half dozen and was thoroughly let down, something which would only have been ameliorated by it being half the price or twice as good. I know you're here to do PR and aren't going to rubbish your own product, but surely your vintners are very much aware of the calibre of product you're selling.

        @Charmoffensive Totally fair question.

        The reason I suggested DM/email is just so I can properly look into it if you wanted it taken further.

        On the wine itself, I do hear what you're saying. If it came across that way for you, that’s clearly not the intended outcome. At the same time, people do land very differently on the same wine. To your point, for sure, even within our own range, there are wines I personally prefer over others - just as there are wines from other regions, countries, varieties or styles I don't like - doesn't make them bad wines (unless they are faulty) just means they are not to my taste.

        Appreciate you taking the time to contribute. Cheers, Richard :-)

    I concur. Had a similar experience with white wine from them a couple of years ago. Bought 12 bottles. Too acidic and flavourless. I think I still have most of the bottles somewhere in the attic. Could not even consider it as a gift. Didn't want my friends to hate me lol. I guess, if you are a wine enthusiast, just pass by. Perhaps they might have some good wine but I don't even want to bother checking/testing. Better buy what I know is good for same or even less money…

      @Archiebald Sorry to hear that particular wine wasn't to your taste. I do hope you raised it with us at the time. It’s clearly not the experience we aim for. We make a wide range of wines across different styles, and some of the lighter whites and rosé can lean more toward a fresher, higher-acidity profile, which doesn’t suit everyone.

      We’ve been making wine in McLaren Vale for 170+ years across six generatons, and our wines are regularly independently reviewed and rated, as this one has been here. Happy for you to DM me or email me at hello@bechardy.com.au Cheers! Richard :-)

        Just checked those bottles again. It was actually Pertaringa Lakeside Shiraz. Not a white wine I initially mentioned, my bad. And yeah, that wine was probably one of the worst Shirazes I ever tried. And I tried a lot, it is my favourite variety. Sorry, don’t mean to be rude or something, but that’s my and my family’s honest opinion. I hope you do have some good quality wines. But I don’t give a second chance to wineries that disappoint me. Not at the expense of my wallet at least lol.

        May be some people with no fancy taste would be ok with it. But on another note, if you don’t really feel much difference in wine, why would you pay $15 or more per bottle if you can get similar or even better taste from Dan’s at around $5 mark?

        I genuinely hope that the batch I received from you was a one-off and all of your other wines are good. If that so, I wish all the best to your business.

          @Archiebald: @Archiebald Thanks for coming back and clarifying and I appreciate you sharing it honestly.

          The Pertaringa Lakeside Shiraz is actually made in a very similar vein to this wine - a lighter, fresher, more fruit‑driven McLaren Vale style, with earlier picking, more natural acidity and less reliance on heavy oak.

          That style can come across quite differently if you're used to, or prefer, the richer, fuller-bodied Vale profile, so it’s not uncommon for it to divide opinion.

          In terms of the broader comparison, there’s obviously a wide spectrum of wine at every price point, and everyone finds their own view on value. For us, the focus is on making regional wines with a clear sense of style and vineyard expression, rather than trying to match a particular price bracket.

          Completely understand if it’s not for you, but it is a deliberate stylistic approach rather than a one-off or inconsistency. Cheers! Richard :-)

            @RD ADL: Hey Richard. I get where you are coming from. Perhaps I was not very clear from the beginning. That particular wine was not just a wine I did not like personally. It felt like it was made from grape branches, not the actual fruit. This is how bad it was. And it was not just my personal opinion. My family had the same. So I’m talking about quality here. Like I said previously, may be you have some good quality batches but that one was definitely out of it.

            If I go deeper, again just my opinion, it feels like the same bottles sold to OzB community at bulk prices might not be as good as the ones sold at cellar door or directly from a winery website. I get it, it is business, you get what you pay for. But that wine should not be described as ‘Premium’ or ‘high quality’ or in similar words at bargain prices. And when people come back with negative reviews, explain to the public that these are just personal like/dislike cases. I’m all in for honesty here and I’m being very honest now. I hope my opinion would help other people to make better decisions.

              @Archiebald: I understand you and your family share that view and others will agree and others will feel differently, and that’s the nature of wine.

              Beyond obvious faults, most differences come down to style and preference rather than quality. The wines we release follow deliberate stylistic approaches across different ranges, which won’t be for everyone.

              You mentioned "grape branches" - that greener / stalk‑driven edge can actually be a deliberate part of certain styles, depending on picking decisions and how the wine is put together. Some people enjoy that lift and structure, others don’t.

              On pricing, the wines offered here are the same wines that go through our normal channels, there’s no difference in what’s being sold, just the route to market.

              Appreciate you taking the time to come back and clarify. Cheers! Richard :-)

      I bought 12 bottles as well (mix of cleanskin white & shiraz).
      The claimed RRP was 30-40 bucks from memory but they tasted exactly like what I paid at a discount (possibly worse). I wouldn't pay more than $10 for them. Much better value wine at Dan Murphy's in 10-15 dollar range for cheap daily drink

        @dji1111111 Thanks for the feedback, appreciate you sharing your experience.

        I’m not quite sure which wines you’re referring to there, as I can't recall a pack that had mixed cleanskin white and red packs in that format.

        The export/cleanskin wines come from specific parcels originally produced for other markets, so styles can vary - but each one has its own retail positioning in that market, which is what the RRP is based on.

        For this offer, it’s a single-region McLaren Vale Shiraz made under our own label from our vineyards, with a consistent style and winemaking approach behind it.

        Completely understand preferences vary though. Feel free to reach out. Cheers! Richard

          It was the 2025 Cleanskin Fiano and McLaren Shiraz 2024.
          I'm afraid they both tasted like $10 bottle of wine at most so I wasn't overly pleased with the claim they are worth 30-40 bucks each

            @dji1111111: @dji1111111 Thanks for clarifying.

            A fair bit of it does come down to personal preference. Even within our own range there are styles and wines that appeal more to some people than others - including me. The Fiano (which I was drinking last night), for example, is a fresher, more textural style that can be a bit divisive - I tend to prefer some of the other whites we make. It's one of the great things about wine - not everyone will like everything.

            That said, our QLD and WA distributors both sold through the entire production of that Fiano ($30), along with an importer in the UK.

            Those wines do retail in those price brackets in their intended markets.

            Appreciate the feedback. Cheers! Richard :-)

        @dji1111111 I agree. They're being marketed as a premium product being discounted, but I actually think they're massively overpriced $5 bottles being marketed on the backs of BH having one good wine that they managed to score highly with James Halliday nearly a decade ago that is $200 a bottle. It's like using Ferraris to sell indian made mopeds at small car prices.

          @Charmoffensive: @Charmoffensive I hear your perspective based on the wines you’ve tried. Just to be clear though, we’re not built around a single wine, score, range or vintage. As a family we've been making wine for 173 years and over a decade in our own right. Each year we get up and do it all again because we enjoy it.
          The wines that come up on OzB over the last nine years are the same wines that go through domestic, on‑premise, retail and export channels.
          You’re right - not every wine from every range appears here, and that’s simply a decision about how different wines are positioned.
          Completely fair if they haven’t stacked up for you personally, but that’s quite different from how they’re positioned or produced.
          Appreciate the debate. Cheers, Richard :-)

    I grabbed Rosé from this deal and actually quite liked it. I wouldn’t call it a bargain, but more like a "reasonable price for a decent wine".
    I wish we had more real bargains from @RD ADL (like in 2017 it was $65 for 12 bottles delivered 🥲)

      @igorekh Glad you enjoyed the Rosé, that’s good to hear. Pricing has moved around a bit over the years - I wish we could still make it for what we did in 2017! - but we still try to keep things at a level where it’s good value for the quality, rather than chasing rock‑bottom deals.

      There are usually a few sharper parcels that come up from time to time as well. Thanks for the continued support. Richard :-)

      Do yourself a favour and grab a $5 bottle of bulloak rose and then tell me the bec hardy is decently priced. It's incredibly thin and watery, there's barely anything to the flavour profile other than acidity. For that $13-16 price, they're competing with the likes of Deep Woods or Squealing Pig and it's coming up very, very short compared to those.

        @Charmoffensive All good, plenty of options out there and everyone lands on what suits their palate.

        Those wines you’ve mentioned sit in a riper, fuller, style, which will naturally feel broader and more generous on the palate.

        Ours (particularly the Rosé and some of the lighter reds) lean drier and more restrained, which can come across as leaner if you’re expecting that richer profile.

        Neither is right or wrong, just different styles, but I get that yours wasn’t what you were hoping for.

        Appreciate the comparison all the same. Cheers, Richard

    @nokia6400 Thanks for giving it a go and for the honest feedback. Wine really is incredibly subjective. What one person finds vibrant and enjoyable, another might see as understated or subtle. Even within our own range, there are styles I personally gravitate toward more than others. This particular wine is deliberately made in a lighter, softer, more approachable style, which tends to suit a lot of palates, reflected in the strong interest and repeat support when we’ve run this offer before. That said, it won’t be everyone’s preference, and that’s completely fair. Cheers! Richard :-)

      Thanks for the reply Richard. Looking at my feedbacks and some others' I think what disappointed us is the taste didn't justify the money even at a discounted price. Agree that taste is very subjective but comparing it with some other cheaper yet stronger taste Shiraz out there, we expected something better to feel the money we spent worth it. With that said, I found the Bec Hardy has the best designed label on the bottle which make your product stand out. Tx

        @nokia6400 Thanks for the feedback and I understand what you’re saying around value and expectation.
        For a bit of context, this wine has been independently reviewed a few times recently - 93pts from Wine Pilot, 93pts from Beverage Testing Institute in the US, and 92pts from Wine Orbit - all broadly noting the balance, freshness and drinkability of the style.
        That said, those are just external views. What really matters is how it lands for each individual. If a wine lands with you stylistically, you’re usually happy with what you’ve paid for it. If it doesn’t, it tends to feel expensive regardless of the price point.
        Some people really enjoy that fresher, more medium‑bodied style, others prefer something riper and more full‑bodied - so you end up with a mix of views from critics, customers here, and people who’ve bought it before. That’s pretty typical with wine.
        Appreciate you giving it a go all the same. Richard :-)
