Producer

Coopers Creek was established by Andrew and Cynthia Hendry in 1980 with the aim of producing the very highest quality wines, principally in dry styles and reflecting New Zealand’s outstanding cool climate viticultural conditions. The Coopers Creek label first appeared in 1982, since when they have continued to develop their vineyards, extend the range, and advance their reputation as one of the best performing and most eclectic medium-sized New Zealand wineries.

Vineyard

Swamp Reserve is the flagship wine, and as such is made from the crème de la crème of the fruit from Coopers’ Middle Road Chardonnay vineyard in Hawkes Bay. This same vineyard has been providing the fruit for this wine since the early 1990s. The fruit was all hand-picked from the best block on the 31st of March.

Winery

Following whole-bunch pressing, forty percent of the juice went straight to barrel where it fermented using wild yeast. The balance was settled, racked and inoculated before being run off to barrel. Both portions stayed in barrel, all French oak, of which forty percent was new. Both portions matured on their gross lees for approximately eight months, before assemblage in tank and bottling.
