Tasting Notes
Hughes & Hughes is a joint venture between Jonny and Matt Hughes, two Tasmanian born wine-heads.
Matt works the grapes, Jonny makes the wines, taking what he learnt from seven years as assistant winemaker at Moorilla and re-imagining it for his own label.
James Halliday called them, "an utterly exceptional wine producer". Keep an eye on this ambitious pair as their star continues to rise.
For the Hughes & Hughes Chardonnay, is sourced from the north west and south of the state, naturally fermented and matured in oak where it underwent malolactic fermentation and lees ageing

Scores
94 / 100"My first and most enduring reaction to this wine was, simply: gosh I love chardonnay. This wine is an ode to the variety, its stonefruit, meal, cream and hay flavours flowing harmoniously throughout, its chalk, nougat and custard powder characters then sitting dry and pretty on the finish. This wine flows. This wine flourishes." - Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)"
