Smith & Hooper

Smith & Hooper is a winery located in the celebrated Wrattonbully wine region, in South Australia.

While Wrattonbully does have its ups, it also has its down. In fact, due to the undulating landscape, the simplest things require a vastly different plan of attack. So needless to say, this is a land where innovation is king and, while the predominant planting is merlot, there are numerous other varieties tried and tested throughout the vineyards.

A 2600ha region that not only boasts terra rossa soil (the secret beneath some of Australia's most celebrated wines) but also a maritime climate one degree warmer than that of the neighbouring Coonawarra. This not only allows the fruit time to ripen abundantly, it also prevents plants bushing too quickly.

Smith's Wine Store is the home of the Hill-Smith family’s wine brands that we nurture from the vine to bottle to you. We’ve taken the guesswork out of buying wine by planting the ideal varieties in iconic wine regions across Australia and New Zealand.

Think of Smith’s as your direct link to some of the finest independent and family-owned drops, whether it’s Jansz from Tasmania, Pewsey Vale Vineyard from Eden Valley, Nautilus from Marlborough, or Running with Bulls from Barossa, we’ve got you covered. You will always be wine ready for any occasion.

But most importantly, these wines are delicious, and you can enjoy them knowing they are made with as little impact on the environment as possible. Our family has pioneered and championed sustainable winemaking practices over six generations, and we’re on the way to 100% certified sustainable winemaking by 2025 and becoming Net Zero by 2050.
