    Trusted by the professionals

    Aromas of green apple, citrus, melon skin and white flowers. Fresh, crunchy and bright on the palate, with plenty of citrus, apple and a brown lime juice lift. There's some fruit sweetness and texture that drives the mouth-feel, then the racy acidity does its thing and delivers cut and shape.

    — Aaron Brasher, The Real Review.

    Hughes & Hughes

    Brothers Matthew and Jonathan Hughes have already enjoyed meteoric success with their acclaimed Mewstone Vineyard, established on the banks of the D’Entrecasteaux Channel in South Tasmania in 2011. Here they create expressive single site wines with a minimum of intervention in the winery. The vineyard is a former cherry orchard and with some new plantings going in this year will expanded to a final size of 5.2 hectares. 

    But for Jonathan to scratch his creative itch he also make wines under the Hughes & Hughes label. Selecting fruit from predominantly Southern Tasmania, the project gives the Jonathan a platform for creativity and experimentation in the cellar. Hughes & Hughes aims to produce bright wines with strong natural acidity, drinkability, that won't break the bank.
