Fruit for the Yea Valley Chardonnay comes from the same well-established site as the Cabernet Franc, sitting on duplex clay just south of the Yea Valley. The site is renowned for consistently high-quality grapes, so when the opportunity came to secure some, the Hoddles team didn’t hesitate. The fruit was destemmed and lightly pressed to tank. After a few days, a portion of the juice was transferred to oak for fermentation on full solids. The wine then matured on lees for 11 months before bottling.

Reviews

“A light, bright, green gold. With its aromas of stone fruits, a touch of grilled nuts and a hint of matchstick, you have to wonder how winemaker Franco D'Anna can make a wine this complex at the price! The palate is still pretty tightly wound, and this impeccably made wine finishes satisfying and long.”
95 points, Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion Top 100 Wines 2024
“Leans toward more tropical in flavour profile, almost to mango, some citrus, light spicy oak, with a little struck match. It’s juicy, quite a lot of flavour, some chalky grip to texture, balanced but firm acidity, oatmeal and parmesan rind on a finish of solid length.”
