Since their first vintage release in 1983, St Hugo have long captured elegance, depth and intensity across their entire portfolio. These days there are some great shiraz emerging out of the Barossa region of Australia, and the 2021 shiraz is a testament to all of the hard work in the winery. It's inky in the glass with a core of dark berry fruits and a well defined tannin structure. 95 points from James Halliday's Wine Companion speaks volume about the sheer quality on offer here. Get amongst it.

James Halliday writes "There’s pedigree in the name St Hugo, we all know that, and though it’s often the cabernet sauvignon that springs to mind, its 2021 shiraz is a cracker. Deep magenta-splashed crimson in the glass with classic Barossa aromas of dark plum and berry fruits cut with fruitcake spice, bay leaf, licorice, blueberry pie, ‘Old Gold’ chocolate and creamy oak. Fruit pure with a velvety tannin grip and a creamy, chocolatey edge as it sails over the palate. To be honest, it’s pretty delicious now but has the structure to cellar nicely over the next decade or so."
