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.

Raspberry, cherry, some spice, mint and floral perfume. It’s medium-bodied, a juicy cherry and raspberry pip flavour, sooty tannin and subtle earthiness, and gee, it’s a convincing wine from front to back, It has an unusual level of gravitas for a $20 wine, and pretty much, I’d say, it would be hard to do better than this at this price point. Also has a ‘mineral’ thing about it. Yes. Date: Oct 2025; Alcohol: 13.2%; Price: $20; Closure: Screwcap; Drink: 2025-2031+; Rated: 93 Points; Gary Walsh; The Wine Front
