St Hugo Shiraz 2012
A fine medium to full-bodied shiraz of genuine elegance and style. ItÕs fashioned rich, soft and smooth, with a fragrant, violet-like bouquet of small red berries, blood plums and fresh cedar/chocolate/vanilla oak backed by a hint of coconut. Long and smooth, with a pristine core of juicy dark berries and plums, fresh vanilla oak and licorice-like nuances underpinned by a fine, grainy backbone, it finishes with softness, freshness and persistence.

St Hugo
St Hugo, initially created as part of the 'Saints' range of Orlando, spent a few years under the Jacob's Creek brand before recently being given a brand of its own. Naturally, it features the Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon we have known for so long, augmented by a Shiraz and Grenache Shiraz Mataro from the Barossa Valley plus a Barossa-Coonawarra marriage of shiraz and cabernet. At the top of the tree sit two very special wines under the 'Vetus Purum' tag – outstanding reserve grade wines from Coonawarra cabernet (2010: 96/100, drink 2030-2040+) and Barossa shiraz (2010: 96/100, drink 2022-2030+). The brand's exact fate is a little uncertain right now and will become clearer once the pending merge between Pernod Ricard's wine division adn Accolade Wines has settled down.
