Awards & Reviews

93 Points – Halliday's Wine Companion

"Matured in 41% new French oak for 18 months. There is a familiarity that comes with wines from such esteemed estate and St Hugo is one of them. Here you'll be greeted with your old friend the wild blackberry bush and shake hands with dark cherries and plums. Oak firmly lays a hand on your back in recognition and support, with old cedar trunk and boot polish. A bit of cheek from the tea tree and thyme stem. Tannins are crafty and pave the way for a long friendship. It's a wine you can count on in the good times and the bad."
