Hoopes Vineyard is a small, family-owned winegrower and producer with deep roots in Napa Valley. Now in their second generation, Lindsay Hoopes continues to live and work on the farm with revered dedication to her family heritage in dogged pursuit of perfect wines. Their critically acclaimed wines tell the exquisite story of their vineyards, philosophy, and the continued evolution of Napa Valley. With a true sense of place, Hoopes Vineyard wines over deliver in flavor, history, passion, adventure and luxury. Hoopes has estate owned and farmed vineyards in Yountville and Oakville. They grow primarily Cabernet Sauvignon & Chardonnay, and aspire to reflect the unique character of each individual vineyard in the bottle. Famed winemaker Aaron Pott (trained by John Kongsgaard and Michel Rolland) has joined the team as head winemaker. The Hoops family care deeply about sustainability efforts, and intend to shepherd the land for multiple generations to come. All vineyards are Certified Organic or are undergoing certification. Their vineyards are regenerative farms complete with animals, water recycling systems, and bio-diversity practices aimed at enhancing the overall health of the vineyard ecosystem.

Our goal with the Hoopla Chardonnay is a fresh juicy wine showcasing flavors and aromas of the grape. A long cool fermentation and aging in stainless steel shines helps preserve the luscious aromas and fruit characters in the wine. Classic notes of fresh pineapple, ripe pear and Fuji apple greet the nose with a lovely warmth and creaminess in the mouth from aging sur-lie in tank without the introduction of oak. This mid-palate breadth yields to an open, clean and refreshing finish. We find ourselves reaching for this crowd-pleasing wine time and time again without fail.
