Tasting Notes
Incredible surprise to see Hughes and Hughes have made a Vermouth and unsurprisingly nailed it! Pours copper in colour, fantastic balance of sweetness and bitter herbal character that highlight the quality of the base wine used to make this. Perfect sipping vermouth. - Pete L
Hughes & Hughes is a dynamic Tasmanian project from brothers Matthew and Jonathan Hughes, established in 2014 as a creative offshoot of their established Mewstone Wines venture in the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, just south of Hobart. Whereas Mewstone focuses on single-vineyard precision, Hughes & Hughes allows greater freedom—sourcing fruit from across Tasmania and exploring more experimental, small-batch winemaking.
The range spans aromatic whites, Pinot Noir, and innovative blends, often produced with techniques such as skin contact, amphora aging, or pétillant-naturel bottling. All are made with a light hand—wild fermentations, minimal additions, and a focus on freshness, texture, and early approachability.
Hughes & Hughes has quickly gained a reputation for expressive, energetic wines that showcase both Tasmania’s cool-climate character and the brothers’ curiosity and creativity. These are wines that balance precision with playfulness, offering vivid fruit, clarity, and a contemporary edge.
