Mac Forbes Hoddles Creek Chardonnay

2017 started slowly and took a more leisurely stroll through to harvest in March. Punctuated with regular rainfall and a moderate warmth, 2017 was a gorgeous season with near perfect conditions for ripening fruit. Low sugars and higher acids dancing with glorious fruit weight define Mac Forbes Hoddles Creek Chardonnay.

Hoddles Creek currently is Mac Forbes highest vineyard in the Upper Yarra at 270m and their only site on volcanic red soils. These soils offer a wonderful contrast to their other sites. The vineyard is planted in a slight arc and protected by indigenous trees on three sides. Its water holding capacity allows the site to be dry grown. This vineyard while presenting focus and clarity also offers a more open structure and fruit weight than the more linear style of Woori Yallock.
