The Hoddles Creek Estate Chardonnay 2018 vintage displays citrus and stonefruit on the nose, with a rounded palate, good length and acidity; a light touch of new oak adds complexity. ReviewsWarmer season so picked a little earlier, looking for texture, says smoky winemaker Franco DAnna.\”Juicy and peachy, spiced oatmeal, fennel and a little stuck match. Its flavoursome with ripe pear and nectarine flavour, flinty texture, an appealing grapefruit cut to the acidity, and a long, well-defined chalky finish. Feel the quality of quiet confidence. Its a great thing to drink even as a young wine, though a couple of years will help it along too.\”93+ Points – Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, April 2019, Drink: 2019 – 2026+
