Hoddles Creek 2023 1er Yarra Valley Pinot Blanc

It’s was once a single block wine but it’s now from two blocks, both on the same estate.
It’s not a big wine in flavour terms but it’s a powerful one. Don’t ask me how that works; it’s a vibe thing, a presence. Quartz, apple, pear, boiled lolly and seaspray notes with a (gentle) cider-like edge. There’s texture here, in-built, not excessive, important. It has both brightness and brood. As impressive as it is it feels as though it’s only just on its way, that its sleeves aren’t yet rolled up, that it still has tricks hidden up there. Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front
