HUGH HAMILTON BLACK OPS 2022

HUGH HAMILTON BLACK OPS 2022Hugh Hamilton is the 5th generation of Australias oldest wine family and proudly the black sheep. Black Ops is his covert blend: a meeting of McLaren Vales prized Shiraz with Saperavi, one of the most ancient grapes on the planet. The idea was simple: make something different. The result is a Pandoras box of flavour. This is a bold, brooding, intense red packed with dense spice, violets, and a whole Black Forest of dark fruit. Plums and blackberries

Hugh Hamilton is the 5th generation of Australia’s oldest wine family — and proudly the black sheep. Black Ops is his covert blend: a meeting of McLaren Vale’s prized Shiraz with Saperavi, one of the most ancient grapes on the planet. The idea was simple: make something different. The result is a Pandora’s box of flavour.

This is a bold, brooding, intense red — packed with dense spice, violets, and a whole “Black Forest” of dark fruit. Plums and blackberries collide with iodine, beetroot, coal smoke and black tea, all wrapped up in a plush, mouth-filling texture and a firm, confident grip.

Bold, dark, and unapologetically different.

Blend: 74% Shiraz / 26% Saperavi
