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.
The first line of Franco D'Anna's sample notes says it all: 'Price isn't a mistake'. Like the ‘25 pinot, this punches well above its price. Pure-fruited, with aromas of nectarine, citrus and a touch of sea spray. This was held back an extra year before release, and it shows on the palate, which is well structured, balanced and long. Unbeatable at this price. Drink to: 2030; Date Tasted: October 2026; Alcohol: 13%; Price: $20.00; Rating: 95 Points & Special Value Star; James Halliday Wine Companion
The first release of this wine, offering unmatched quality for the region and style at this price. Vibrant citrus with lovely white stone fruit, wet stone and flint. The palate is tense and nervy with plenty of energy yet still with fruit generosity. At $20 this is a knockout bottling. Drink or hold. Screw cap. Rating: 93 Points; James Suckling
It’s crisp and zingy, a fair old acid drive to this wine, but there’s flavour too, albeit more in the white peach and ripe lemon spectrum, with some mint/fennel, green olive, almond, and floral perfume. It’s quite powdery in texture, offers some spice and has a crunchy pear and lemon sherbet finish of good length. Very good. Thirst-quenching and zesty, with a certain salinity to it. Wickhams Road keeps on keeping on delivering good wines at affordable prices. Date: Sept 2026; Alcohol: 13%; Price: $20; Closure: Screwcap; Drink: 2026-2030+; Rated: 91+ Points; Gary Walsh; The Wine Front
