St Hugo Shiraz 2020 Gift Boxed

Born on 19 September 1895 in the Barossa Valley, Hugo Gramp lived and worked his entire life in this world-renowned wine region. Hugo’s grandfather, Johann Gramp, was one of the wine pioneers of this revered wine region, planting his first vines in 1847, and starting the wine business that would be later called G Gramp & Sons by Hugo's father Gustav, and that Hugo would one day lead. Today, St Hugo wines are prized by wine collectors and connoisseurs the world over, and Hugo’s legacy is celebrated at the St Hugo cellar door in the Barossa.

In 1983, Hugo Gramp’s legacy was honoured with the release of the first wine named ‘St Hugo’. The addition of the title ‘St’ was inspired by the charming European tradition of naming vineyards after saints to bestow good fortune upon them. Crafted from the outstanding 1980 vintage, the first St Hugo Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon was hailed for its power and elegance, much like the great man himself. Today, St Hugo continues to set the benchmark for excellence in Australian Cabernet Sauvignon, with every vintage released awarded gold.

St Hugo is a premium collection of Australian red wines from the acclaimed Jacob’s Creek winery. This Barossa shiraz unfurls and grows, revealing pepper, tobacco and other new forms with every passing minute. Nothing stays the same. Echoes, memories and skywriting all fade - and yet we still have hope, thanks to those precious few things that just grow, and grow again, catalysed by nothing more than indoor air. Unfurling and filling like a hot air balloon, revealing new shapes, new vistas every passing minute.
