Hoddles Creek Estate Chardonnay 2024 is a masterful expression of the Yarra Valley’s renowned cool-climate terroir, crafted exclusively from premium estate-grown grapes. Under the expert guidance of winemaker Franco D’Anna, this Chardonnay strikes a perfect balance between richness and finesse, embodying both elegance and complexity.

The bouquet is vibrant and inviting, with zesty lemon, grapefruit, and succulent white peach aromas complemented by subtle hints of vanilla and finely integrated oak. On the palate, a luxuriously creamy texture is enlivened by bright, well-structured acidity, delivering a wine that is approachable yet layered with depth. Franco D’Anna himself regards this vintage as his finest since the acclaimed 2021, highlighting its "packed with flavour, white nectarine and nutty spicy characters," as noted by respected critic Gary Walsh of The Wine Front.

Hoddles Creek Estate is celebrated for producing exceptional value wines, with Walsh remarking, "The thing about HCE is they make $60 wine and sell it at $26." This Chardonnay exemplifies that ethos, offering premium quality that rivals far more expensive counterparts.

Versatile and food-friendly, this wine pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes—from grilled seafood and crisp salads to creamy pasta and poultry—making it an ideal choice for elevating everyday meals or special occasions.

Rooted in the Yarra Valley, a region famed for its cool climate and pristine growing conditions, this 2024 vintage benefits from a season marked by balanced temperatures and slow ripening, which enhances the wine’s aromatic intensity and structural precision.

Experience a Chardonnay that combines the finesse of a cool-climate classic with the innovation and passion of one of Australia’s most respected winemaking families. Hoddles Creek Estate Chardonnay 2024 is a testament to quality, value, and timeless elegance.
