Bloodline

Hugh and Mary bring you their own unique trio of wines, a Grenache, a Shiraz and a Pedro Ximenez in honour of their forebear, Richard Hamilton.

Richard, a respectable tailor living on the high streets of Dover with his wife and 8 children, He did have a love for wine though and possibly by the light of the moon was travelling back and forth across the English channel – a true black sheep!

We can only speculate his dark secret was catching up with him because Richard packed up his family and headed for the newly colonised South Australia. It was here that he started growing Grenache, Shiraz and Pedro Ximenez grapes for ‘the health of the family’. So started South Australia’s first wine dynasty that continues to this day.

Now, 185 years on, Richard’s legacy and secret are materialised in this beautifully crafted tailor’s crate – a trio of noteworthy wines smuggled beneath a limited edition cashmere throw. Be one of the first to own a piece of genuine Australian Wine History.
