The story of Nugan Estate spans over 80 years, three generations, and displays determination, passion and grit. In 1938, Alfredo and Annelise Nugan fled their home village of Alcira, Spain and migrated to Australia. As immigrants they brought with them aspects of European culture including the enjoyment of wine. Nugan Estate completed their first commercial vintage in 2000. The family built a state-of-the-art winery that was completed in 2002, sourcing wine grapes from premium vineyards in the Riverina, King Valley, Langhorne Creek, Coonawarra, McLaren Vale, and Wrattonbully regions.
Today, Nugan Estate is owned and operated by Alfredo and Annelise’s grandson, Matthew Nugan. Matthew maintains the family traditions and shares their passion for good wine. Matthew has been integral in the growth of the family business since 1984.
Tasting Notes
Deep purple in appearance with youthful crimson hues. Lifted ripe berry fruit aromas, with hints of earth, pepper and dark chocolate complimented by sweet red berry fruit flavours with spice and silky tannin finish.
Method
An incredibly mild summer with above average rainfall is largely responsible for prolonging the harvest which ensured slow even ripening of the fruit. This Shiraz fruit was harvested at optimum ripeness in the cool of the night to preserve delicate fruit flavours. After picking, the fruit was crushed and fermented in static tanks with automatic irrigators. Thereafter, the wine underwent cool fermentation to maintain a fruit driven style with some components receiving French oak during fermentation to add complexity and structure.

Spicy and complex. Excellent value for money.

Delicious.
Darryl Williams
Definitely good value for the money. The earthiness gives off some hints of tobacco I thought. Great on the nose and not overly sweet on the palate. Great combo.
