Serious, dark and gestural, this shiraz sourced from a single vineyard in the northwest corner of the Barossa Valley is not for the timid. The Vantablack of the shiraz world. Dark and dense. Ink even, until the calligraphy begins gesturing across the canvas of the mouth. Fabal’s red soil aerates brushstrokes. Minerality gives structure. The paint dries slowly and lingers in the air.

This St Hugo classic has aged into a seamlessly smooth masterpiece, perfectly balancing its signature power with a new, velvety elegance. The bold dark fruits and floral scents have softened into a rich, rounded flavor, while the once-strong tannins are now silky and easy-drinking. It is a sophisticated, deeply satisfying red that feels luxurious on the palate a premium Coonawarra Cabernet that is performing at its absolute peak right now.

The 2025 St Hugo Signature Grenache Shiraz Mataro is bright, vibrant garnet red in colour.
