Hardys VR Merlot Red Wine
Hardys VR Merlot Red Wine is a soft Australian red wine with flavours of intense plum and dark cherries, with toasty oak on the finish.
Love this wine too much!
It's just the right amount of fruitiness without being too much.
I've cooked with it and sipped it,while cooking and with the meal.
Very reasonably priced and widely available.

Deep and fruity
This is a rich and deep flavoured wine, with strong fruity notes. The fruitiness adds a nice sweetness and rounds out the wine well. It is lovely with steak or beef stew or just on its own to relax with.
I love Hardys wine, this red merlin is my favoute it's got a lovely fruity falvour, some red wines can taste like vinegar but this one is lovely would highly recommend

Good
The rich aroma fills the air, hinting at the delightful experience to come. A gentle swirl releases complex layers of scent, inviting a closer look. The first sip is a symphony of flavors, dancing on the palate. A lingering finish leaves a warm, satisfying sensation. This is truly a moment to savor and enjoy.

A reliable, budget-friendly red
Hardys VR Merlot is a smooth, fruit-forward red wine from South Eastern Australia, offering plum and dark cherry flavors with a subtle toasty oak finish. It’s medium-bodied, with low tannins, making it incredibly easy to drink.
At 11% ABV, it’s lighter than many reds, making it a great option for casual sipping. It pairs well with roast meats, pasta and cheeses but is also enjoyable on its own, especially slightly chilled.
For an affordable wine, Hardys VR Merlot delivers good flavor and balance. While it lacks the complexity of premium Merlots, it’s smooth, approachable, and great for everyday drinking.
Pros -
1. Smooth and fruity with low tannins
2. Easy-drinking and versatile
3. Great value for the price
Con -
1. Lacks depth for serious wine drinkers
2. Some may find it slightly too sweet

More merlot please!
We paired this wine with a steak night and it did not disappoint! The dark berry flavours came through brilliantly and really complimented the meal. I just wish the bottle had been bigger as it was so lovely!
Being a casual wine drinker I am not clued up on which reds are better and which is not. This wine was not too heavy and went lovely with my evening meal. I would choose to get this again in the future aswell.
