Hugo Reserve Shiraz
Intense, violet/blue with ruby highlights. Clean, with lifted, fresh, dark berry fruit esters,
leading to a developed bouquet that includes notes of black pepper, molasses, and
vanilla. Clean and intense, featuring volumes of juicy, black currant, blood plum and
dark cherry fruit elements that are enhanced by the lingering complex flavours and
diverse characteristics experienced in the mouthfeel. In addition, displaying excellent
fruit/acid/tannin balance which is achieved by the careful use of quality oak and
individual barrel selection of old vine, dry grown fruit exclusively from the family estate.
Drinking well and will continue to for many years.Â
This single vineyard wine is made from grapes specially selected from our oldest dry
grown Shiraz vines. They yield small berries that produce concentrated fruit resulting in
a wine which shows excellent color, depth and complexity with characters of plum and
hints of spice.
Serve with Rib eye Steak and crispy potatoes.
92 Points - James Halliday
The fruit is really good, but it is smothered in oak with a bitter walnut character. Still,
there's soft, almost a silky texture on the fuller-bodied palate, the tannins peel away
letting the fruit and more savoury nuances through
