Hugh Hamilton ‘Black Blood 1’ Shiraz Tomfoolery (SA)

Hugh Hamilton ‘Black Blood 1’ Shiraz Tomfoolery (SA)Vintage: 2021 McLaren Vale, SA ALC: 14. 9% The Black Blood series are a trio of wines that represent a wonderful journey into McLaren Vale Shiraz. Terroir is a word that encapsulates the taste of a wine due to its unique environment altitude, climate, rainfall, temperature and soil. The Black Blood trio are each from a different Hugh Hamilton vineyard with a distinct terroir. We keep everything else as consistent as possible picking dates, winemaking

The result of some serious hard slog and plenty of thought on how best to work with the weather of this particular harvest

If this wine were a hat (which it's not)

complexity and depth of flavour

the sound of cricket in the background on the radio

Crisp and fresh

2021 sees this classic cool cool cool climate be as sought after as ever

More like a historic passion that’s kept burning through recessions

Medium bodied

nurture and make wine from wine varieties that were best suited to Australia's warm and dry climate

Hugh Hamilton wines happen to have more than one
