Hughes & Hughes Syrah 2024
Hughes & Hughes Syrah 2024 is a beautifully fragrant and refined cool-climate Syrah that showcases the elegance and freshness of southern Tasmania. Produced by brothers Jonny and Matt Hughes, the wine is sourced from vineyards in the Coal River Valley and Derwent Valley, where long growing seasons allow slow ripening and excellent flavour development. A small portion of whole-bunch fermentation and maturation in older French oak contribute savoury complexity while preserving fruit purity and vineyard expression.
The 2024 vintage opens with lifted aromas of blackberry, mulberry, violet, cracked pepper, olive tapenade, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and silky, combining vibrant red and black fruit with savoury herbs, mineral notes, and fine chalky tannins. Rather than power and richness, the focus is on perfume, finesse, and drinkability. Bright acidity and a long, graceful finish make this a classic modern Tasmanian Syrah with excellent balance and freshness. It is particularly suited to lamb, duck, chargrilled vegetables, and mushroom dishes, and can be enjoyed lightly chilled.
