Hoddles Creek '1ER' Chardonnay

"Again it’s the extra burst of flavour through the finish; it sets it apart. This has taken on a fair amount of oak and it shows but both the quality of the fruit and its character mean that it’s no concern at all. This really does have the quartz meter jumping. Fleshy white peach and citrus with flashes of grapefruit and cedar. The way it kicks up a gear on the finish is quite something.  It’s a beautiful chardonnay, hands down." - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front 95 Points

Hoddles Creek Estate was established in 1997 and is owned and operated by the D'Anna family of 'Boccaccio Cellars' fame and success - a famous Italian grocer and importer in Melbourne. Their winery is located on Gembrook Road across from Hoddles Creek in the cool rolling hills of the Yarra Valley. All wines are estate-grown and hand-harvested, with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay making up the lion's share of the property. Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon are also planted.
