Hugo Wines
McLaren Vale , South Australia
Winery Overview
The Hugo family vineyards were first established in the foothills above McLaren Vale in 1951.
The Hugo vineyard is one of the highest in the region. Conditions here are markedly cooler and as a result ideal for premium grape production with longer ripening periods and hence the production of fine, balanced elegant wines.
The 50 Acre vineyard consists of mature plantings of Grenache, Shiraz & Cabernet sauvignon, along with recent plantings of Fiano, Tempranillo, Nero D’Avola & Grenache Gris.
The Hugo Family manage the vineyard sustainably and focus on real attention to detail to ensure the highest quality of fruit is grown, allowing single vineyard wines to be produced.
