Description
"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." - 93+ Points, Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
“Hoddles Creek have been excelling with this varietal since 2014. The 2021, the product of a cool year, is another compelling example. Lemon rind, white flowers, a little matchstick and an attractive savoury note leads onto the palate which has good depth and persistence. Citrus and lemon pith come to the fore, together with a little almond meal and a hint of gravel. This is all backed up by good acidity and this nicely put-together wine finishes lemony and long.” - 92 Points, Philip Rich, The Wine Companion
