Tasting Notes
What an exciting wine! This is a white, made like a red, that looks like a rose! Whole bunch fermented with 90% of the wine in old oak, and 5% remaining on skins for a week - hence the beautiful blush colour. Sounds technical, but what it equates to is a nose of pear, marzipan and spice with a luscious, medium body. The texture on the palate is what really sets it apart - fruit sweetness, balanced by zippy acid, slatey minerality and an incredibly fine, chalky mouthfeel. It's vibrant, it's textural, it's delicious. It's Pinot Gris, but not as you know it! - Felix G
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
