Hoddles Creek, Pinot Gris, Yarra Valley, 2022
This proclaims “whole bunch fermented” on a band on the front label – and one can see that in the coppery tinge to this wine, which is as pink as some fashionably pale Provence rosés. The skins of ripe Pinot Gris grapes have a notably warm tone to them, so that colour leaches into the wine. In short, this is brilliant. A floral scent with (and it may be auto-suggestion) a hint of wild strawberries; a full-bodied, fruit-laden palate encompassing green melon and red berries; lots of volume; and a dry, long finish. What more could one desire? Now-2025
“The salmon pink colour reflects 48 hours skin contact for 70% and 12 days for 30%. A scented, crushed rose-petal bouquet and luxuriant palate, welcome acidity shaping the structure and length. 95/100”, James Halliday in The Australian, May 2023
