We have sold pallets from these guys due to its volumes of rich mid palate plum, dark summer laden raspberry and bold black pepper with light toasty nut oak with hints of yummy chock/mocha. A rich dense palate awaits chock full of really forward berry fruits supported by stylishly, structured dusty tannins presenting a full-bodied, well balanced wine. The use of new, one and two year old American oak assists the integration of the fruit and tannin components. Blackberry and raspberry flavours combine with an engaging spicy, pepper and chocolate éclair elements. Their tasting notes go on to recommend it be complimented with: Caper and garlic leg of lamb or Pork schnitzel with red cabbage and apple salad.
Hugo Wines is situated in the McLaren Vale wine region which continues to build on its reputation as a source of quality wines not only from the big national labels but also from some of the smaller boutique wineries. Such recognition has been awarded to Hugo Wines whose origins date back to 1970 when John Hugo followed in his father's footsteps on the family vineyard at McLaren Flat. John produced his first Shiraz in 1979 and the Cellar Door was opened in October 1982. John's father Colin Hugo planted the original vines dating back to 1950. The vineyard of approximately 30 hectares includes varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Grenache. Consistency in regard to quality is what Hugo Wines' strive for, and the fact that all of the fruit is estate grown makes the job that much easier. The climate soils and proximity to the coast are also contributing factors in maintaining the quality of the wines produced by the Hugo family. Over the past 25 years Hugo Wines has received many Gold, Silver and Bronze awards.
