Hugo Wines Hugo W**es is an intergenerational family business crafting premium w**es from estate grown fruit in the McLaren Vale w**e region.

John’s father Colin Hugo planted the original vines dating back to 1950. The vineyard of approximately 25 hectares includes varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. Consistency in regard to quality is what Hugo W**es’ strive for, and the fact that all of the fruit is estate grown makes the job that much easier. The climate, soils and proximity to the coast are also contributing factors in maintaining the quality of these small parcel w**es from the Hugo family.

Spring’s been a busy one so far. We’ve been out undervine weeding, mowing, fixing irrigation, cutting out naughty wild olive trees and shoot thinning most days.

Earlier in the year we bought an undervine weeder, which we think will be great for the soil and the health of the vines over the long term. This is the first season we’ve had it going and you can already see the difference out there.

In a few weeks we're packing the w**es and heading north.

We'll be in Brisbane from October 21, for a special dinner at Popolo on the Brisbane River at South Bank, sharing our w**es alongside great food, stories from the vineyard, and a few bottles that don't often leave McLaren Vale. The four-course menu has been crafted by Head Chef Francesco to beautifully pair with w**es we have thoughtfully selected for the evening.

If you're joining us at Popolo, we can't wait to meet you and if you're interested tickets are still available https://www.popolodining.com/hugo-w**e-dinner

We'll also be pouring at the Good Food & W**e Show that across the weekend, so if you've been meaning to try the latest releases, stock up on favourites, or simply say hello, come and find us.

It's always a privilege to take a little piece of McLaren Vale on the road and share what our family has been growing and making.

See you in Brisbane!

Olive oil has always been part of our story, so it feels pretty special to see it back on the cellar door shelves. After a little time away, we’ve given the bottle a fresh new look, and the oil itself is showing just how beautifully these old trees are maturing in amongst the vineyard.

We’ve also created a new Olive Oil platter for the cellar door, bringing together some of our favourite local makers Andy Clappis bread, Taronga Almonds Dukkah and our olive oil, served in a beautiful handcrafted bowl by our talented friend at Billies by SH Stoneware.

Good local produce, a glass of w**e and a little time to slow down.

Available now at the cellar door.

One of the best parts of vintage is finally getting to taste the w**es you’ve spent months working on.

This year’s Rosé is ready, and I’m pretty excited about it.

Renae and I have tried something a little different this vintage, hand-picking a small parcel of Grenache Gris and co-fermenting together with our Grenache. It wasn’t about reinventing the wheel, just adding a bit more texture and interest while keeping everything we love about Rosé.

Hope you enjoy it as much as we do. We’ve added it to the tasting menu at cellar door and online.

If you're heading to the Good Food & W**e Show this weekend, come and find us for a tasting. We'd love to pour you a glass, have a chat and share a taste of McLaren Vale.

See you in Perth!

Winter at Hugo W**es

There’s no better way to spend a winter afternoon than settling in with a glass of w**e and a regional platter, surrounded by the beauty of the Hugo family estate.

Be seated by the fireplace, settle in at the bar for a tasting with our team, or enjoy the view of the towering gumtrees from inside the cellar door and if you’re lucky, you might even spot our neighbourhood koala.

For small groups, our private tasting room offers a cosy space to gather while taking in sweeping vineyard views.

Prefer to be outdoors? Find a spot beneath the arbour or settle in overlooking the vines and enjoy the crisp winter air.

Wherever you choose to spend the afternoon, winter is the perfect season to slow down, savour great w**e, local produce and good company.

Our cellar door gallery is filled with the beautiful artwork of Sherren Jeffery. Driven by colour, mediums, textures and shapes, Sherren’s intuitive works come alive through paint mixing and blending, shapes and lines creating expressive works telling stories of past experiences and future adventures. The artist’s pieces are intertw**ed with authenticity and connection to colour, offering feelings of warmth, joy and safety.

Winter looks good from here.

Open daily from 11am.
