Hoddles Creek Estate is a relatively new venture that has all the hallmarks of being a very good producer. Set up with the help of Mario Marson (ex-winemaker for Mount Mary and Jasper Hill) no expense has been spared to create top class Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Hoddles Creek Vineyards are all hand pruned and hand harvested with specific attention being given to organic practices in the vineyard. The fruit for this wine was hand harvested from a select hillside vineyard in the Upper Yarra Valley. Typically the Yarra Valley's long dry growing season helps to achieve that perfect balance between elegance, power and finesse.
Pear and spice aromas make this wine quite exotic. The palate is clean and crisp with a mix of ripe pear and apple favours. Pinot Gris is well suited to the cool climate of the Upper Yarra Valley and it definetely shows through in this wine. Anthoyn D'Anna
