Hoddles Creek Estate was established in 1997 when the D'Anna family decided to establish a vineyard on the property that has been in the family since 1960. The vineyard sits astride Gembrook road and adjacent Hoddles Creek.

Picked a week later than the '23, this brightly coloured wine has a purity and poise you rarely, if ever, find at this price. You will find stone fruits and just a hint of matchstick, while the palate is flavoursome and precise. Remarkable to think this will improve even, over the next 2–3 years.
