Hoddles Creek Estate Chardonnay 2024
Hoddles Creek Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2024 is an expertly crafted expression of Yarra Valley terroir — vibrant citrus and stone fruit, refreshing acidity, and hints of new oak in a Chardonnay of genuine complexity and intensity.
Roasted chicken, pan-seared scallops, grilled barramundi, lobster bisque, and aged soft-rind cheeses.
Juicy white fruit, grapefruit, and aniseed lead a complex and expressive bouquet — struck match, almond paste, and cinnamon and clove spice adding depth and the kind of intensity that, in some respects, seems more Beechworth than Yarra. Packed with flavour and genuine promise.
White nectarine, pear, citrus, and lime rind with nutty, spicy characters and a flinty grip to texture — quite some intensity and power, with excellent length of flavour and the refreshing acidity that defines great Yarra Valley Chardonnay. Elemental and a little raw now, it will deliver with a couple of years in bottle.
