2021 Shiraz/Cabernet

$28.00

Gold Medal – McLaren Vale Wine Show

Getting the exact picking time right to allow for both Shiraz & Cabernet Sauvignon to be harvested & co-fermented together is the key to making this wine.

Sourced from two mature vineyards on the elevated Hugo Estate our goal is to make a medium bodied shiraz cabernet blend with generous mouthfeel, yet freshness and balance.
