Thomas Hardy (1830-1912) was born in Devon and arrived in Adelaide in the British Empire in 1850. After working for a year on John Reynell's farm at Reynella in the southern valleys, Hardy bought six acres on the banks of the Torrens River, west of Adelaide, in 1853. Planting the property, 'Bankside', with vines, olive and fruit trees, Hardy made his first wine in 1857. Hardy bought Tintara Vineyards in McLaren Valley on the Fleurieu Peninsula in 1876 from pioneering winemaker AC Kelly. By 1901, Tintara had 219 hectares of vineyards, while Thomas Hardy & Sons Ltd had wine shops and offices in Mile End and Currie Street, Adelaide. Much of this expansion was due to the booming British wine market. Thomas Hardy is considered the father of the South Australian wine industry. His son Robert took over the company, which expanded enormously in the following decades and remained family-owned until 1992.
At Penfolds, the winemaker's role is to make the best possible wine from the product of each vintage. The Penfolds house style stems from the culture of producing a fortified wine and has developed into a winemaking philosophy that has left a profound mark on winemaking throughout Australia.
