How beautiful is the autumn sun, shining through the vine leaves! ⁠
⁠
Wondering what the lines in the soil are? We've just seeded a mid row cover crop and perennial grasses in select blocks to protect the soil, prevent erosion, suppress weeds and provide nutrition.⁠
⁠
We'll show you once the pretty flowers and grasses start to grow!

Fresh off the bottling line our new 2022 Grenache Rose is looking good, tasting great & will be released shortly!! 🍇

Introducing our latest release Nero d’Avola….⁠
⁠
Translating as 'black grape of Avola', Nero d'Avola hails from the Italian town after which it is named.⁠
⁠
Hugo's take on this Italian variety is a lovely lighter bodied red with volumes of clean fresh vibrant and juicy purple fruit flavours of violets, blueberry’s and hints of pomegranate, complimented by fine silky tannins and a wonderful soft vibrant finish. The beauty of Nero d'Avola is that in extreme heat it retains its acidity, which is is perfect for the McLaren Vale climate. ⁠
⁠
This small batch release is now available at cellar door and online.⁠
⁠
Enjoy! 🍷

Hello Old Bush Vine Grenache! ⁠
⁠
How gorgeous is this natural mid row crop, growing in the 71 year old bush vine Grenache.⁠

Three year old Grenache cuttings from the 70 year old bush vines.
⠀
70 years ago Colin Hugo planted bush vine Grenache, we’re happy he did! These bush vines have produced wonderful fruit over the years and since 2017 have been the very popular straight Grenache and Rose. Three years ago, Will Hugo took cuttings and planted this new block and this year will be there first crop we get from these young vines which is destined for our Grenache Rose.
⠀
Today Will Hugo was out in the vineyard ensuring these vines are getting the nutrients they need and looking good for vintage 2022!
