About the winery · Hugh Hamilton Wines ›

The winery states that Hugh Hamilton and Mary Hamilton are the fifth and sixth generations of a Hamilton wine dynasty stretching back more than 185 years. The Jim Jim label is named for Hugh's Labrador/Kelpie, remembered by the winery as a dog with a talent for knowing when grapes were ripe. The producer's style is playful, but the source materials connect the wine to a long-running South Australian winemaking family.
