Each year I source and select grapes from a different single vineyard in the Heathcote region, therefore each year the wine will have a different name to reflect the vintage. 14th release. Named after our first-born son Hugo born in August 2017. 2017 being a cool year, I decided to release the 2017 after the 2018 to give it more time to come together in bottle and the result is very satisfying.

‘Hugo’ comes from Carl Brown’s vineyard. I started working with Carl back in 2015. I was struck by his obsession with soil health and the care and management he puts into the vineyard. The attraction amplified once I learnt it was the only certified organic vineyard in Heathcote.

I particularly love duck or lamb with this wine. The natural acidity and savouriness from the whole bunch compliments the sweet animal fat. Think a whole slow roasted duck with wild mushrooms or a lamb rack with garlic, herbs, and anchovies. Yum!!
