Description

Year after year these guys continuously create outstanding value more money wines and this is no exception.
All fruit is hand picked in the morning, destemmed and loading into the press. It is gently pressed (Pinot Blanc is already quite phenolic) into tank. We settle naturally for five days then rack dirty and turbid juice for fermentation. From here we let the wine do it’s own thing. Left on lees for 6 months then lightly filtered for bottled. No additions apart from sulphur.
Such an amazing wine on offer here. Expect notes of pears, stonefruits and citrus. Its powerful, but not over ripe. Great minerality and texture. Geez this is good.

Hoddles Creek Estate

Established in 1997 the D'Anna family decided to plant grapes on the property that has been in their family since 1960. Located between Gembrook road and adjacent Hoddles Creek in the Upper Yarra (a higher, cooler and more marginal climate than the lower Yarra) both vineyards are on steeply sloping blocks needing hand-pruning and harvesting. They're cropped at less than 2.5 tonnes per acre and being a marginal climate the vines requires extensive canopy management, this is achieved using the 'Scott-Henry trellis system' to promote fruit exposure.

Viticulturist and winemaker Franco D'Anna cut his teeth at Coldstream Hills later consulting with Mario Marson (ex-winemaker for Mount Mary and Jasper Hill) where he took some valuable lessons. His philosophy on winemaking practises tend to be minimal - their wines all see a percentage of oak including the Sauvignon Blanc albeit old French.

Hoddles Creek wines are single vineyard estate grown.
