Description
Made exclusively from fruit grown on the Hoddles Creek estate, this is one of the Yarra Valley's benchmark Chardonnays. The fruit that winemaker Franco D'Anna has to work with is as good as any in the Yarra Valley.
Pale lemon-yellow colour with a lifted aromatic profile showing white peaches and smoky reduction. Tightly focused on entry with stone fruits, smoky bacon savouries and a line of saline minerality adding character. Great length and while it feels taut there’s ample fruit power to carry it long.
