ACCOLADE WINES LAUNCHES EXCLUSIVE NEW GIFTING RANGE

Accolade Wines is proud to announce the launch of a brand-new gifting range across three of its premium brands within Travel Retail: Hardys from Australia, Flagstone from South Africa and Mud House from New Zealand.

Designed to tap into the ever-growing gifting shopper mission, these exclusive retail ready packs reflect the premium wines within, and exude the gift worthiness that shoppers have come to expect from the travel retail channel. The combination of impactful design and quality materials aim to drive the wine category within the gifting mission and encourage shoppers to trade up.
A range encompassing six different wines from three different countries of origin, there is sure to be something for everyone in this exciting new collection.
Eileen Hardy Shiraz and Chardonnay:
Bright blue gift box that showcases the instantly recognisable Eileen Hardy stamp and signature.
Iconic wines of the Hardys brand. These wines were originally launched in 1972 in honour of Eileen Hardy, the Hardy family matriarch. An indomitable spirit and the first lady of Australian wine; her love of life still echoes through every Hardys wine and provides the inspiration to be the best.

Each vintage the winemakers select the very best hand-picked parcels of fruit from regions throughout Australia to carry the 'Eileen Hardy' Label.


Hardys HRB Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay:
Sleek and eye-catching, these two gift boxes are sure to delight anyone that receives them. The black (Cabernet Sauvignon) and white (Chardonnay) boxes will sit elegantly on the shelf, and make the perfect gift for any occasion.  
In 1865 Thomas Hardy had the foresight to begin blending grapes from different regions, believing that the blending would enhance the different qualities of the grapes. His vision proved to be right and it has since become the inspiration for our Heritage Reserve Bin (HRB) range.
The award-winning Heritage Reserve Bin range pushes the boundaries of winemaking through the cross regional blending of hand selected grapes
Flagstone Velvet:

A vibrant purple gift box that represents the full-bodied wine inside. The Flagstone emblem sits proudly on the front of the box.  


Innovation, idealism, and a fun quirkiness characterise the Flagstone brand story to date. This full bodied, deep ruby red blend showcases notes of cinnamon and spice, dancing above decadent concentration
of intense dark berries like mulberry and blueberry. With velvety tannins, the flavour burst of red berry and cherry, rewarded with an intriguing, moreish hint of smooth dark chocolate.

Mud House Hill No.5 Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc – a Travel Retail exclusive.

Designed to highlight the brand’s sponsorship of the British & Irish Lions for their upcoming tour of New Zealand, this tin stands out with its bright red colour and the nikau palm so reminiscent of the Mud House brand. The wine is just as beautiful, overflowing with fruit concentration as classic tropical, citrus and green bean flavours fill the front palate. The mouth-watering continuous flavours are assisted by the underlying crisp and beautifully focused acidity.



“We are delighted to be introducing these new gift packs to travel retail. The industry revolves around gifting, so products like this are sure to be popular with our customers. Each gift box represents the brand it houses; the quality and innovation are evident in the way they look and feel, so we are confident that they will be a big hit for Accolade,” adds Rupert Firbank, Commercial Director, Accolade Wines.
