Tasting Notes
Year after year these guys continuously create outstanding value more money wines and this is no exception.
All fruit is hand picked in the morning, destemmed and loading into the press. It is gently pressed (Pinot Blanc is already quite phenolic) into tank. We settle naturally for five days then rack dirty and turbid juice for fermentation. From here we let the wine do it’s own thing. Left on lees for 6 months then lightly filtered for bottled. No additions apart from sulphur.
Such an amazing wine on offer here. Expect notes of pears, stonefruits and citrus. Its powerful, but not over ripe. Great minerality and texture. Geez this is good.

Scores
94 / 100"This is not under the 1er label. Just estate. Far out, could be one of the best white wines per dollar from Australia, which isn’t a stranger of aa sentence around Hoddles Creek. As so often, a scintillating, mouth-watering, brilliantly exciting and delicious wine. Squeaky texture, a little powder puff of talc to close, some crushed rock minerality too; the texture a highlight but flavours fill things out well with brown skin pear, ginger, bitter lemon, faint hazelnut and attractive dill characters. It’s got tension and torsion, off like a rocket while gently staining the palate."
