CURATED WINES

Below are the curated wines for Breakthrough Dinner presented by Head Sommelier Katherine Candy, National Wine Specialist from Pernod Ricard Australia.

Welcome Drink

G.H Mumm Cordon Rouge NV Champagne – exclusive bottle: Blended from a palette of 120 crus, Mumm Cordon Rouge expresses the rich diversity of Champagne’s terroirs, in a fresh, vibrant style that is the signature of Pinot Noir, the House’s emblematic grape.

Whites

St Hugo Signature Collection Eden Valley Chardonnay 2023: Produced in the ‘modern Australian’ style, this ‘cool climate’ Chardonnay is our latest release. Made from carefully selected Eden Valley vineyards, chosen for their ability to deliver fruit purity with a pristine acid line.

Orlando Steingarten Riesling 2012: Pale straw with hints of green colour. A delicate nose showing floral characters and lemon blossom. A subtle palate with restrained notes of lemon and lime, and a hint of water running over slate.

Reds

St Hugo Signature Collection Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2019: This flagship varietal made St. Hugo an Australian icon and our signature wine for over 35 years. Sourced from vineyards across the famous ‘terra rossa’ strip in Coonawarra, it is a consistent gold medal winner.

Orlando. Cellar 13BV Grenache 2020 Cellar 13 Barossa Valley Grenache is a modern Grenache that proves old vines can learn new tricks. Just like the Cellar 13 shed, this Grenache proves that it’s what’s on the inside that counts  

VIP Experience includes

St Hugo Vetus Purum Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2015: The icon of the St Hugo portfolio. Made only in the best years, it is a single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, made from the top 1% of our best Coonawarra fruit.
