About Manufacturer

While Accolade Wines is a young company, its history runs deep and it has a proud heritage that includes some of the first wineries established in Australia. Hardys, a brand that pioneered the great tradition of wine blending, crushed its first grapes in 1853, while the roots of Western Australia’s flagship brand Houghton date back to the mid-1930s. This rich heritage has helped them build one of the world’s leading wine companies, which today supplies around 27 million cases annually to 132 countries worldwide.
