Hoddles Creek Estate is rightly respected for its excellent quality, well priced Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs. This Pinot Blanc, although fresh and bright, doesn’t quite live up to the very high standard of the estate’s other offerings.
Just off-dry, it is delivers simple white peach and pear fruit. On the whole, it’s a solid aperitif wine, but nothing more.
2016 HODDLES CREEK PINOT BLANC
Producer: Hoddles Creek Estate
Variety: Pinot Blanc
Region: Yarra Valley, Victoria
ABV: 12.5%
Closure: Screw cap
Retail Price: $22.00
Date tasted: 2 January 2017
Tasting Note:
Greenish yellow in appearance. Straightforward nose of white peach and pear. Slighly off-dry, medium bodied, relatively low acidity. Simple and direct on the palate. Not bad, but not particularly exciting either. Improved alongside food, but nothing special.
Score: 15/20
