Hugh Hamilton Wines
McLaren Vale , South Australia
Winery Overview
The Hamilton family has the longest continual presence of grape growing and winemaking in Australia. Dating back over 180 years ago, Hugh and Mary Hamilton, father and daughter are the 5th and 6th generation of the family that planted the first vineyards in South Australia in 1837.
As with all families there is a black sheep and Hugh is it. Not one to follow the flock, Hugh’s wines are distinctive. With the icon ‘Pure Black’ Shiraz and unique blends and varieties such as ‘Black Ops’ Shiraz Saperavi and ‘Jekyll & Hyde’ Shiraz Viognier – this is no ordinary line up.
Wines are lively in the glass and reflect the vineyard in which they are crafted from. Created to be enjoyed now and certainly very “more-ish”. Mary Hamilton, Hugh’s daughter and 6th generation, believes to enjoy wine is to define your mood. The range contributes to any mood, from when you want to be wrapped up in a wine that is warm & generous or perhaps when your feeling adventurous and ready to take on the world.
