Description

5 Star Outstanding Winery from James Halliday, voted Top 10 Dark Horse Wineries in Australian Wine Companion and Anna Hooper was named in Top 12 “Young Guns of Wine” for 2017.

Cape Jaffa winery and vineyard sits atop cave pocketed limestone on the very edge of the South Australian coastline – formed from the remains of coral and long forgotten ocean creatures as the sea made it’s retreat as recently as two million years ago. A unique and isolated post, approximately 30kms North of Robe, and 300km from Adelaide, Cape Jaffa wines are made with heart, earth and salt air.

To winemakers Derek and Anna Hooper choosing Cape Jaffa just felt right. Red loamy soil, free-draining Limestone, cool Summers and some great local surf breaks tipped the scales as they pioneered the Mount Benson wine region.

Their commitment to sustainable agricultural practices through organics and biodynamics (their vineyards are Certified Biodynamic) plus their love of the sea and sense of place is reflected in the wines they make.

From the winemaker about this wine: “Super approachable, rich and generous. This accessible style of Cabernet has a little extra bottle age to help the fine tannin structure mellow.

Those in the know realise the best places for Cabernet in the Limestone Coast are not from where you would first expect. Selected from secret spots around the region which might vary from season to season. Our 2018 vintage comes entirely from Mount Benson. The focus is on varietal expression and the notion that Cabernet should taste like Cabernet. It was kept on its skins for 10 days and pumped over three times daily before spending 12 months in French oak.  A cool climate and approachable Cabernet with dill, dried rosemary, cassis, and bright blue fruit.”

94 points, Jane Faulkner for Australian Wine Companion: “A medium-bodied wine with just the right amount of varietal charm introduced by currants and blackberries, with fresh herbs, but it’s also savoury. Tannins are lovely – fine and shapely and overall, this is delicious.:
