‌Hoddles Creek Estate Chardonnay (Box of 6)

The palate is energetic, flinty, and beautifully composed, opening with white nectarine, pear, and grapefruit zestcarried by the cool‑climate acidity of the Upper Yarra. A mid‑palate of almond paste, nougat, and subtle struck‑match reduction adds savoury tension, while the gentle brush of new oak brings quiet spice without heaviness. The texture is mid‑weighted, sleek, and finely gripped, showing the estate’s hallmark balance between fruit purity and mineral drive. The finish is long, citrus‑lined, and lightly saline, tapering with cashew, flint, and white‑stone minerality.
