Accolade Wines is an international wine business with its headquarters in South Australia and corporate offices in Melbourne. It has been owned by the Carlyle Group, an American private equity company, from 2018 until 2025 when the business merged with Pernod Ricard Winemakers to form the company Vinarchy after the sale of its portfolio to Australian Wine Holdco, a consortium of international investment investors comprising Bain Capital, Intermediate Capital Group, Capital Four, Sona Asset Management, and Samuel Terry Asset Management.

Accolade, which predominantly uses the Hardy's label, was one of the worlds largest winemakers, having more than 1700 employees around the world, with operations in North America, the United Kingdom, Ireland, mainland Europe, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Asia. As of 2022 it was ranked the second largest Australian wine company by production and second largest in terms of total revenue.
