The 2020 St Hugo Shiraz is a commanding Barossa expression that blends richness with depth, showcasing the region’s signature ripe fruit framed by structure and savoury complexity.
Deep garnet with violet hues, the bouquet opens with black cherry, blackberry and plum, layered with pepper spice, clove and hints of dark chocolate. Savoury nuances emerge including smoked meat, leather and dried herbs, adding complexity and intrigue.
On the palate, plush fruit is balanced by velvety tannins and vibrant acidity, creating a compelling interplay between power and poise. Dark berry flavours entwine with espresso, licorice and subtle oak spice, leading to a long, persistent finish.
