McLaren Vale, Australia

Wine Enthusiast 90 points!

The Black Sheep Shiraz is a beautiful red wine gem from Hugh Hamilton Wines in the renowned McLaren Vale of Australia. Hugh Hamilton and his daughter Mary Hamilton are the 5th and 6th generation of the Australian Hamilton wine dynasty that stretches back over 185 years. From Richard Hamilton, the adventurous smuggler who planted the first grapes in South Australia, to Mary, the first woman to run the Hamilton wine business, the story of Hugh Hamilton Wines spans six generations. It’s a tale of a relentless spirit, pioneering winemaking, and a love for the land. With each generation, the Hamilton legacy has grown, weaving new chapters of flavor, innovation, and tradition.

“A nose of cherries and currants, green peppercorn and spice flows into a mid-weight palate that offers lovely freshness and crunch to the red fruit flavors and a subtle frame of tannins for a modern style Shiraz. —Wine Enthusiast 90 points!
