Buy Smith & Hooper Wine Online

Smith & Hooper wines are sourced entirely from two Wrattonbully vineyards, adjacent vineyard blocks previously owned by the Smith and Hooper families. These are premium red wines from exceptional vineyard sites with Terra Rossa soil, a rich, free draining soil that is considered by many as the viticultural equivalent of discovering gold.  

"Yalumba winery celebrated its 160th anniversary this year and it's been under the same family ownership all those years. The boss, fifth-generation wine man Robert Hill Smith, has a policy of over-delivering in value terms, putting his wines among Australia's most reliable.

"Smith & Hooper is an associated Hill Smith family enterprise, based at Wrattonbully on the Limestone Coast of southern South Australia. This bargain-priced cabernet blend has a charming nose of blackcurrants with light floral and herb touches and a balanced, earthy seasoning of lightly toasty oak. Poised and elegant in the mouth, it has an even, silky texture and the fresh, intense flavour is long lasting and aromatic. Tannins are dry, fine and well integrated."
