2021 Hoddles Creek Road Block Chardonnay

The 'Road Block' is a small-batch premium Chardonnay release from the team at Hoddles Creek Estate. A single block wine from the steep East-facing portion of the family vineyard.

Their prowess with the variety is well known, rarely does Franco D'Anna miss with this variety. When he says this deserved its own bottling, you bet your boots there is a reason for it.

The kind of wine that will reward the patient. 96 points from Gary Walsh and another top release from Franco & co.

"Some struck match, almond, white peach, white flowers. Intense, all citrus sorbet, very chalky and quite spicy, tight and grapefruity on a very long finish. Such energy and precision. A short note for a great wine."
