Named in honour of Hugo Gramp, a pioneering figure in Australian winemaking, St Hugo is renowned for producing wines that combine depth, elegance and exceptional regional character. The Shiraz component contributes generous dark fruit, warmth and supple richness, while Cabernet Sauvignon introduces distinctive blackcurrant flavours, savoury complexity and finely structured tannins. Fruit from Barossa Valley develops concentration and ripeness under the region's warm conditions, while Coonawarra's celebrated terra rossa soils contribute definition and freshness to the Cabernet component. The 2023 vintage continues the longstanding Australian tradition of combining these complementary varieties, delivering a wine of impressive balance, approachable richness and rewarding cellaring potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, St Hugo Shiraz Cabernet 2023 reveals a deep ruby colour with vibrant purple hues and expressive aromas of blackcurrant, ripe plum, blackberry and dark cherry. Subtle notes of cedar, tobacco, dark chocolate and warming spice add complexity to its generous fruit-driven bouquet. The palate is full-bodied and beautifully layered, combining succulent dark berries and sweet plum with fine, chalky tannins and carefully integrated oak. The Cabernet Sauvignon provides structure and definition, while the Shiraz delivers mid-palate richness, creating an appealing harmony between concentration, freshness and elegance. The finish is long and savoury, with lingering dark fruit, chocolate and gentle spice, making this classic Australian blend an excellent companion to grilled beef, slow-cooked lamb and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Rich, dark-fruited and elegantly spiced\u003cbr\u003eBlackcurrant, ripe plum, blackberry and dark cherry with cedar, subtle tobacco, warm spice and delicate chocolate nuances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Full-bodied, concentrated and beautifully balanced\u003cbr\u003eJuicy blackberries, dark plum and cassis layered with integrated oak, fine chalky tannins, gentle spice and savoury complexity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long, structured and pleasantly savoury\u003cbr\u003ePersistent dark berries, dark chocolate, cedar and warming spice with refined tannins and a lingering, balanced conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e93 Points \/ Silver Medal — Sydney Royal Wine Show, 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrand - St Hugo\u003cbr\u003eStyle - Red Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Red Blend\u003cbr\u003eGrape Blend \/ Cépage - Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon\u003cbr\u003eCountry - Australia\u003cbr\u003eState - South Australia\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Barossa Valley\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2023\u003cbr\u003eABV - 14.5%\u003cbr\u003eSize - 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St Hugo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44606123343959,"sku":"SH-SH-CAB","price":44.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/e1d037cf-ab62-4059-90bf-1c93c688c122.webp?v=1793684584","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/st-hugo-shiraz-cabernet-2023","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
