St Hugo Signature Shiraz Cabernet 2013 is a beautifully matured museum release bringing together two of South Australia’s most celebrated red wine regions. Powerful Barossa Shiraz combines with structured Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon to create a refined Australian blend with impressive depth, elegance and ageing potential.

Vibrant crimson with subtle purple hues, the wine opens with blackcurrant, dark plum and ripe berry fruit layered with cedar, spice, fine oak and a subtle touch of mint. With time in the glass, further complexity emerges through kirsch, black olive, mocha, crushed herbs, dark chocolate, cassis and sweet bramble fruit. The palate remains vibrant and beautifully composed, with fine, silky tannins carrying the generous fruit through a long, elegant finish.

Awarded 94 Points by James Halliday and 93 Points by Huon Hooke of The Real Review, this mature release comes from St Hugo, a prestigious 5 Red Star Halliday-rated winery. Now offered as a limited museum clearance, it represents a rare opportunity to experience a beautifully cellared St Hugo with more than a decade of bottle development.

Drinking superbly now, the St Hugo Signature Shiraz Cabernet 2013 still possesses the structure to reward further careful cellaring. Pair it with slow-braised lamb shoulder, char-grilled ribeye, roast duck, truffle pasta, artisanal charcuterie or mature cheddar for an exceptional Australian red wine experience.
