Description
Situated approximately 350 km South East of Adelaide, and merely a stone’s throw from the famed Coonawarra, lies “Wrattonbully”, the home of Smith & Hooper.
A 2600-hectare region, that not only boasts terra rossa soil (the secret beneath some of Australia’s most celebrated wines) but also a maritime climate, 1° warmer than that of the neighbouring Coonawarra.
This not only allows the fruit time to ripen abundantly; it also prevents plants bushing too quickly.
However, while Wrattonbully has its ups, it also has its downs. In fact, due to the undulating landscape, often the simplest things require a vastly different plan of attack.
