St Hugo Barossa Grenache Shiraz Mataro

A legend of the Barossa wine scene if there ever was one! Hugo Gramp was born in the Barossa in 1895 and it was in this part of the wine world that he worked and lived his entire life. It was Hugo’s grandfather Johan who was a pioneer of the region, planting the first vines in 1847 and running the family wine ‘biz with his son Gustav (known as “Gramp & Sons”), until Hugo took over the reigns at age 25.

This is the St Hugo take on the world famous Rhone Valley style blend of GSM – in this case Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro (called Mourvedre in France and Monastrell in Spain).

This 2025 release scored a whopper 95/100 with WinePilot.com who said “The St Hugo range has long been a trusted Barossa portfolio that takes much of the better fruit sources previously available to Orlando and Pernod Ricard, and now that Vinarchy has at its disposal in the region. This is a terrific, modern style, the blend suited to a more medium-bodied expression via its capacity to proportion its varieties to suit. Delightfully fragrant to begin, crushed potpourri petals and raspberry/cherry jubes, then a sophisticated and elegant tone through the palate gathering all those elements into a singular voice, a perfect mix of ripeness and freshness, seamless and spicy and simply a joy to drink.”
