Hugo Family Estate Reserve Shiraz 2016 is an intense, full-bodied Australian red sourced exclusively from the oldest dry-grown Shiraz vines on the family's McLaren Vale estate, originally planted in 1969. Yielding small berries with remarkable concentration, this exceptional vintage was matured in a careful selection of French and American oak hogsheads. It offers a lifted, highly aromatic bouquet of dark berry fruits layered with complex notes of black pepper, molasses, and vanilla. On the palate, it delivers a clean, generous mouthfeel packed with juicy blackcurrant, blood plum, and dark cherry flavors. These dense fruit characteristics are beautifully balanced by savory dark chocolate, fine, integrated tannins, and a long, spiced finish.
Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with a thick-cut rib-eye steak, beef fillet with horseradish and prosciutto, rich venison stews, or roasted lamb.
