Named after its founder, Stuart Reginald Hooper, this wine is made from 12 specific rows of Chardonnay vines located at the Olive Tree Hill vineyard. The vineyard was planted in 1976 on an ancient seabed; the farming is completed using organic farming practices and is now certified, contributing to the land's biodiversity and the quality of the fruit.
"The intensity of flavour here is significant. This is a rocket of a wine. Grapefruit, lime, lemon curd, sweet peach, tinned pear and pineapple characters come wrapped in smoky-sweet cedarwood. Acidity, barley-and-lemon-drenched, is prominent too, in keeping with the power of the fruit. It needs time for certain, but this is quite a wine." - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front 95+ Points
