About Us

Cape Jaffa is not the most famous place in the world but it is where Anna and Derek Hooper love to make wines - En Soleil - in the sunshine. Living on the edge - where the often harsh and unpredictable Southern Ocean meets South Australia's Limestone Coast, Anna and Des produce wines that reflect the lifestyle they lead and the region they love. Wines with natural balance and honest personality...a unique lifestyle worth bottling! Unashamedly they are more trailbreakers than traditionalists and make no apologies for working to the beat of their own drum. Between them they are constantly trailing new ways of growing, blending and vinifying without being constrained by convention. As well as growing fruit in their own biodynamic vineyards, they also source from other great sites discovered across the Limestone Coast - choosing to partner with growers who share their commitment to tread lightly in the vineyard and do all they can to let nature take its course. Visit Cape Jaffa's desirably rustic cellar door for a taste of the Hooper's lifestyle. Drink in the wild air, wander through the biodynamic veggie patch or relax on the veranda. Groups, please book in advance.
