2022 Johnny’s block Shiraz

A new addition to the Hugo Range, Johnny’s block shiraz is sourced from the oldest shiraz vines on the Hugo estate planted by John Hugo in 1969. These old gnarly vines are hand-picked and hand sorted and consistently produce wines of depth, intensity and generous mouthfeel while still having fine soft tannins. While this fruit is typically destined for Hugo’s Reserve Shiraz, Johnny’s block is a modern take on McLaren Vale shiraz spending less time in oak and showing more fruit characters.
