🍇 About the Producer
A family-owned boutique estate in Rapaura, Marlborough, Riverby Estate occupies land farmed by descendants of the Matthews family for more than a century, with its first vines planted in 1989. Named after the Opawa River, the estate honours its riverside heritage with a rainbow trout on its labels.
Sustainable vineyard practices include using sheep for natural grass and weed control, while winemaking by Dr. John Forrest centres on fruit quality, with vintages skipped when grapes fall below the estate’s standards. Its diverse plantings support a range spanning Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay to Pinot Noir and Noble Riesling.


Join Trio Wine for an evening of tasting and discovery, exploring a selection that brings together rosé Champagne, Muscadet, Bourgogne Aligoté, Jura Savagnin, Pommard and Barolo. Compare the wines’ aromas, textures and styles, with vintages spanning 2018 to 2024, alongside a non-vintage rosé. Discover how each bottle interacts with the flavours of traditional Cantonese dishes throughout the meal.
The evening also marks a farewell to Hopers’ Base as it prepares to leave Hong Kong for London, an opportunity to celebrate its cooking while sharing discoveries around the table.

🍇 About the Producer
Founded in 1942 by Désiré Rolet in Arbois, Domaine Rolet is a historic Jura estate shaped by decades of family winemaking. Passed to new owners in 2018, the domaine cultivates the region’s five classic grape varieties: Chardonnay, Savagnin, Poulsard, Trousseau and Pinot Noir. Its range spans sparkling Crémant du Jura, varietal whites and reds, and the distinctive Vin Jaune, aged under a veil of yeast in barrels without topping up. This breadth makes the domaine a fitting introduction to the Jura’s varied wine styles.
