Still no price change in 3 vintages. And I say again, this is the best bang for buck Chardonnay in the country, and I’m waiting to be told any different.

Hoddles Creek Estate, Chardonnay, Yarra Valley, 2020

Light creamy stone fruit with tangy grapefruit skin, refreshing lemon citrus. The oak gives a nutty savoury shadow without overbearing. Long, fine and taut palate with direct focus of grapefruit citrus and a dry, just grippy finish. Bright green apple juicy acidity leaves a refreshing coda. Will take some time to flesh out, but damn enjoyable now.

RRP: $21.99
