St Hugo is a story of legacy and reinvention, their team honour the traditions of winemaking legend Hugo Gramp. Grandson of pioneering vigneron Johann Gramp and founder of Gramp & Sons winery in 1847. Bringing his historical vision of not only the brand but the Barossa into the modern world.
St Hugo pays tribute to its namesake Hugo, and each vintage they make is in celebration of his love of the land he grew up on, from their first vintage in 1980. The St Hugo wines showcase deep respect for the grapes grown on our sites by turning them into wines with structure, power and elegance. The wines are crafted to be part of your celebrations with loved ones all over the world – from their vineyards to your table.
Each vintage, after regular berry tasting throughout the ripening period, St Hugo's winemakers select from amongst some of the best fruit from the Eden Valley vineyards to create St Hugo Eden Valley Riesling.
Such a great riesling year in Eden Valley. Perfumed and floral with a powdery bath-salts aroma and a spicy mix suggesting a racy palate is coming. Beautifully balanced and precise palate with a very long finish. Distinct lemon scents on the nose with a trace of lime. The palate has such a lovely acid integration. It's a pristine and pure riesling made with a minimalist approach to achieve the wine style.
