St Hugo Signature 2025 Grenache Shiraz Mataro

 

This is a super impressive, quintessentially Barossa red blend from a label that tends to fly a little under the radar these days. Juicy, fruity grenache is the show stopper and comprises 70% of the blend with 21% shiraz and a small amount of savoury mataro in a support role. This is a wine for those who like their red wines with power and depth, but also some style and sophistication. A James Bond wine, maybe. Dark fruits, hints of mocha and herbs and well integrated oak come together impressively in relatively young wine that finishes with smooth tannins. Pair this with just about any red meat dish. $55.
