The Wine
At his small garage winery in the McLaren Vale, Adam Hooper specialises in wines that are big on character, small in volume – he insists on very low yield grapes to show McLaren Vale character at its best. Adam started with the region’s classics, Shiraz and Grenache, but now also uses quirky originals like old vine Sangiovese and Primitivo, plus Chardonnay, too. Over the years, his wines have scored very highly with the critics. And rightly so – they are always of the utmost quality and have so much character. Adam felt winemakers had moved too far towards the lean citrus style of Chardonnay and wanted to make a richer version. Fermented on its lees in oak then aged in barrel, Suffragette is certainly that – ideal with creamy chicken.
"Sumptuous golden Chardonnay with real breadth – beautifully balanced and crafted in tiny quantities"
