Tasting Notes
A step up in power and precision from the Estate Chardonnay. I have always seen why people get excited about these wines but they haven't been my style in previous years whereas this release really hits for me. Tightly wound as it normally is as I assume these wines really are built to be cellared over early consumption. There is added layer of power to the wine, nutty oak spice and sea spray. Zesty, hard orchard fruits and very tense. Definitely one for the cellar or a long decant. - Pete L
Hoddles Creek Estate was established in 1997 when the D'Anna family decided to establish a vineyard on the property that has been in the family since 1960. The vineyard sits astride Gembrook road and adjacent Hoddles Creek. Its steeply sloping blocks prohibit mechanical harvesting, with both vineyards being hand pruned and harvested. All our wines, which are single vineyard, estate grown, are made in our 300 tonne winery, constructed for the 2003 vintage. The split-level winery has a barrel store located three meters underground. Hoddles Creek Estate is planted with 10ha of pinot noir (five clones), 6 ha of chardonnay, 1ha each of sauvignon blanc, merlot and cabernet sauvignon, and 1.5ha of pinot gris. - Winery Note
