Hopes Grove e-cellar door
Organic, single vineyard wines. Grown and made by two generations of the Koopman family.
We farm a small 3.5 hectare or 8.65 acre hillside vineyard in Pakipaki, Hawkes Bay, New Zealand.
We also farm organic olives and produce extra-virgin olive oil and vinegar.
Our wines seek to let the place, the soil, and the vintage speak. We hope you will enjoy them.
Our wines are normally only sold locally and around New Zealand, but thanks to this e-cellar door you can now order wine to be delivered to your home address, wherever that may be in the world.
Reviews
Estate Chardonnay 2021
Metro Magazine Top 50 Wines of 2024
Bob Campbell 4/5 Stars
Bright and pure aromas of melon, stone fruit and citrus, interwoven with soft butter, toasty oak and cashew. Full bodied, with an elegant mouthfeel elevated by a soft buttery flow and a textural phenolic line. The fruit has concentration and intensity, compliment the toasty oak details with a long finish. Drink now until ~2028.
Silver Lining Syrah 2019
Michael Cooper 4.5/5 Stars
The refined 2019 vintage (4.5*) was estate-grown and hand-picked at Pakipaki, south-west of Hastings and Havelock North. A graceful, full-bodied red, it has strong, plummy, spicy flavours, finely textured, savoury and lingering.
Candice Chow 94 points
A savoury Syrah with fine-grained tannins full-bodied structure, fine acidity and a delicately spiced finish.
