Each ferment was managed differently, with some requiring temperature control, plunging, post-ferment maceration and, in some cases, the addition of cultured yeasts, keeping the winemaker on their toes and showcasing their ability to think on their feet - which may be an indication as to why Hoddles Creek can make exceptional value Estate wines year in and year out.
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Calibri Light',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin;">"Lovely amount of perfume this year, in with red cherry and other red fruits, some cinnamon, almond, vanilla, and assorted spice from oak, subtle earthiness with a little dried herb too. It's medium-bodied, kind of light, but gee, there's no shortage of depth and concentration either. It has bright acidity, fine tannin grip, and a lively finish of excellent length. It took me one smell, and one sip, to know that I really like this vintage. A little more fine-boned. Classic styling, if you will." – Gary Walsh, Wine Front.
