Australian international cricketer and a commentator Glenn McGrath hosted a special sundowner at ITC Maurya alongside Subhash Arora, founder and president of Delhi Wine Club, wherein he spoke about the legacy of Hardys Wines and gave some great tips on wine pairing.
Glen, born on February 9, 1970 in Dubbo, New South Wales and nicknamed “Pigeon”, was a fast-medium pace bowler and is considered one of the greatest bowlers in cricketing history, and a leading contributor to Australia’s domination of world cricket from the mid-1990s to the early 21st century.
Speaking on his experience, the new brand ambassador for Hardys Wine said, “What makes Hardys an Australian icon is also what makes it so appealing. It’s a brand with more than 160 years of history, and their passion and pride in winemaking is something I very much relate to. It’s got a real sense of tradition and history and honours the 40 years of hard work which Bill Hardy, the 5th generation of the Hardys family, put into the winery and its wines. The William Hardy limestone Creek Chardonnay and langhorne Creek Shiraz are wines with huge varietal personality and regional identity. Knowing that they were made with Bill’s passion in mind, they are a true showcase of Australian wine’s quality, flavour and character and I think will be perfect as a premium wine offer for the Indian consumer.”
