TASTING_NOTES_HEADING_BLACK

From the same vineyard as the Gippsland Chardonnay; guided through the winery to show maximum regional expression, has dark fruits and savoury finish. The fruit is sourced from our own vineyard in Gippsland. We travel down to Gippsland once a week to tend the vines. The wine is de-stemmed without crushing and left on skins for 25 days. We use a mixture of natural and cultured yeast to achieve a balance between fruit and complexity. The wine is bottled without filtration or fining. Winery note
Expect notes of abundant red berries, cherries, and dried herbs. Some savoury complexity and chalky tannin give excellent structure. Length in long, smooth and satisfying. An exceptional example of Victorian Pinot at an absolute bargain price!

Hoddles Creek

Hoddles Creek Estate was established in 1997 when the D’Anna family decided to establish a vineyard on the property that has been in the family since 1960. The vineyard sits astride Gembrook Road and adjacent to Hoddles Creek. Its steeply sloping blocks prohibit mechanical harvesting, so all pruning and harvesting are done by hand. All the wines are made in their 300-tonne winery, constructed for the 2003 vintage. The split-level facility has a barrel store located three meters underground. With 130 acres of vines to manage in the northern reaches of the Yarra Valley (and just four full-time staff), no one could accuse Franco d’Anna of taking the easy route. D’Anna is a winemaker at the top of his game, but if you ask him, he will tell you he is a farmer first—he and his team spend 90% of their time in the vineyard, and no one member is specifically assigned to the winery. This approach not only provides a depth of understanding of the vineyards to each member of the tight-knit team, but it also allows them to set the vineyard up according to the vagaries of each season. This site-first approach, along with a supreme work ethic and crazy attention to detail is something that sets this estate—and its wines—apart.
