1er Yarra Valley Pinot Noir

Hoddles Creek Estate 1er Yarra Valley Pinot Noir is the flagship. It is grown in the estate's Upper Yarra Valley Top Paddock Block next to the winery. The block faces west but runs down to the south.

After harvest the fruit is destemmed but not crushed and pressed to foudre (a large oak vat) for fermentation. Top Paddock is the only block which sees a small inclusion of whole bunches in the ferment.

Around December the wine is transferred to seasoned casks until March. It is then transferred to tank, to spend another winter in the cellar. It is bottled without filtration or fining.

Deep crimson, Hoddles Creek Estate 1er Yarra Valley Pinot Noir is fragrant with silky red fruit flavours, rich texture and perfect balance. Cellaring potential is 12 years.
