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: “Our En Soleil Pinot Gris is grown by the Koch family in Wrattonbully and the winemaking is all about preserving the exceptional fruit quality they provide us.
We add a component of Pinot Gris that’s fermented in one or two year old French barrels and aged on lees for 6 months, adding complexity and creaminess to the palate creating an aromatic and luscious style of white with texture. Deriving from the Pinot family of grapes, this pink skinned variety is picked early in the season and handled very carefully to avoid picking up colour. This wine is drinking well now however it will evolve into a more tertiary and complex style in the bottle over the first two years.”
New vintage picked earlier made more to a leaner Grigio style says Winemaker Des Hopper.. overflowing with racy citrus, stone fruit, hint of white pepper and texture on the finish…. Very smart “Grigio’ here!
