Tasting Notes
Always an exciting release from Hoddles Creek. The 1er wines are their single site releases that capture the best of the Yarra Valley through a Burgundian lens. The wines are built to age and always look better after a years' rest in bottle. Packed with red cherry/berry fruit, layers of spice and turned earth. Tannin frames the wine while acid adds drive and freshness lengthening the wine on the palate. The extra couple of years have really helped add confidence to this wine. - 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
