St Hugo Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Winemaking
Crafted exclusively from Cabernet Sauvignon grown in the famed terra rossa soils of Coonawarra, this wine is a hallmark of structure, intensity, and regional expression. Fermented in small parcels and matured in French oak for up to 18 months, it is built for longevity and elegance.

Bouquet
Deep and aromatic with notes of blackcurrant, dark cherry, and mulberry. Layers of bay leaf, mint, cedar, and cigar box give a classic Coonawarra signature.

Palate
Full-bodied and firm with a backbone of ripe tannins and refined oak. Rich black fruit flows through the mid-palate, joined by savoury spice, graphite, and a touch of dark chocolate. The finish is long, poised, and confidently dry.

Food Pairing
Perfect with roast lamb, slow-braised beef, herb-crusted venison, or aged cheddar. A wine that excels with protein-rich, savoury dishes and bold flavours.

Cellaring
This vintage will develop beautifully over 10–15 years, gaining further complexity with age. Decant if drinking now to allow the structure and aromatics to open fully.

Interesting Fact
Named in honour of Hugo Gramp, a pioneer of Australian winemaking, St Hugo wines are known for their refinement and cellar-worthiness. The Coonawarra Cabernet is the flagship expression, consistently delivering benchmark quality and style.
