The home of the black sheep
Hugh Hamilton Wines is Australia’s oldest wine family, known for exceptional wines, unforgettable experiences, and an indomitable pioneering spirit.
185 years. 6 generations.
One family of black sheep.
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.
Our rascals, ratbags, drama queens and many other characters are all bottled up in some of Australia’s finest wines. This is a place where we take the wine seriously but not ourselves. It’s about living a quality lifestyle and having fun.
As we say, “every family has one”.

The Disrupter
Grenache 2024
Starting South Australia’s wine industry is disruptive. Pushing little sticks of Grenache into ground surrounded by gums and hoping they take and make wine is pretty disruptive too. This though is the Hamilton legacy, and this is a wine that celebrates every sweet disruption of the everyday.
